The local library in Midgeville has long been a source of knowledge and art for the town’s residents. Many of them, especially the town’s teens and seniors, spend long hours at the facility—reading newspapers, viewing art exhibits, watching documentary films, and attending educational events. Now that the mayor has instituted large budget cuts that will significantly shrink the library’s funding, the people of Midgeville will clearly be culturally deprived.
Which of the following exposes a presupposition regarding the author’s reasoning in the statements above?
A. Midgeville’s library has a culturally-diverse selection of books.
B. Bridgeville’s library, which is a half-mile away in a town bordering Midgeville, has a more extensive program of art, media, and events than Midgeville’s does, and is open to residents of all adjacent municipalities.
C. Midgeville residents will see fewer documentary films once the library’s funding is cut.
D. Few of the town residents who visit the library prefer to bring their own books and newspapers to read.
E. The residents of Midgeville have no other significant source of cultural enrichment aside from the local library.

Question Explanation
Choice (A) is out of scope; it doesn’t matter whether the library’s books are as culturally-diverse as its other forms of media. Choice (B), in contrast, weakens the argument by pointing out another source of cultural enrichment for Midgeville residents. Choice (C) makes a prediction and is thus out of scope, while (D) is irrelevant. However, (E) is essential to the argument, since it suggests that a funding cut could hurt the most significant source of culture to the town’s residents.
