Space Enthusiast: The fact that the government has ignored space science is reprehensible. In the past five years the current administration has spent less than 2.5 billion dollars on promising missions to explore the outer planets and understand the fundamental properties of our universe and the origins of life.
Politician: Your claims are erroneous and absurd. The current administration has allocated over 4 billion dollars for exactly the sort of scientific space missions you claim we do not support!
The apparent contradiction in the claims of the space enthusiast and the politician could best be resolved if which of the following was true?
A. Many space missions require billions of dollars and, often, decades of development and flight before returning any useful scientific data.
B. Politicians often select space missions for funding based not on the mission's potential scientific return but rather on an assessment of the mission's appeal to the public sense of imagination and adventure.
C. Without government funding, projects as complex as space missions to explore the outer planets are unlikely to ever come to fruition.
D. Often the budgetary allocations assigned to one agency or project are instead called upon to fund emergency needs of a different agency or project.
E. Many politicians support space exploration very strongly, albeit sometimes for selfish reasons ranging from creating jobs in their voting districts to seeking exciting ways of inspiring the public

space enthu = in last 5 years, current gov has spent less than 2.5 billion dollars on promising missions to explore and understand the fundamental properties of our universe and origin of life. therefore, fact that gov has ignored space science is reprehensible.
politician= current gov has allocated more than 4 billions for same sort of space missions you claim this gov has not supported. therefore, you claims are erroneous and absurd.
resolve the paradox.
A this just tells it take more money and years to get to the results. however, thats not the point here. reject.
B this choice tells about how the gov chooses the project, but here thats not the point. so reject.
C the problem is not whether the result will come by not having gov money. but rather why the gov has spent less money? so this choice is out.
D that means, the other 1.5 billions have been transferred to emergency project. so now this make sense on why less money has been spent despite setting up proper budget for it. keep
E here the problem is not about what could be politicians the motive in funding space missions. so reject.
option D

To resolve the paradoxical questions, our goal is to maintain harmony between the two contradictory statements.
A. Many space missions require billions of dollars and, often, decades of development and flight before returning any useful scientific data. Incorrect. This choice is totally irrelevant.
B. Politicians often select space missions for funding based not on the mission's potential scientific return but rather on an assessment of the mission's appeal to the public's sense of imagination and adventure. Incorrect. This choice doesn't resolve the paradox, as stated by space enthusiasts, that the administration has spent less than 2.5 billion dollars on promising missions, contrary to the claim made by politicians that the administration allocated 4 billion dollars for a scientific space mission.
C. Without government funding, projects as complex as space missions to explore the outer planets are unlikely to ever come to fruition. Incorrect. This choice again doesn't resolve the paradox.
D. Often, the budgetary allocations assigned to one agency or project are instead called upon to fund emergency needs of a different agency or project. Correct. This choice resolves the paradox by stating that 4 billion dollars are allocated by the administration but directed towards emergency projects. So, here the claim made by space enthusiasts is correct that the government spent less than 2.5 billion dollars on the project.
E. Many politicians support space exploration very strongly, albeit sometimes for selfish reasons ranging from creating jobs in their voting districts to seeking exciting ways of inspiring the public. Incorrect. This provides the reason why the government spent money on these projects.
