The extent to which a society is really free can be gauged by its attitude toward artistic expression. Freedom of expression can easily be violated in even the most outwardly democratic of societies. When a gov. arts council withholds funding from a dance performance that its members deem “obscene,” the voices of a few bureaucrats have in fact censored the work of the choreographer, thereby committing the real obscenity of repression.
Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the argument above?
A.Members of government arts councils are screened to ensure that their beliefs reflect those of the majority
B.The term obscenity has several different definitions that should not be used interchangeably for rhetorical effect
C.Failing to provide financial support for a performance is not the same as actively preventing or inhibiting it
D.The council’s decision could be reversed if the performance were altered to conform to public standards of appropriateness
E.The definition of obscenity is smth. On which most members of society can agree

I take C on this one.
if they are failing to provide financial support for a performance rather than intensively not providing, then it weakens the argument.
