Congress is considering a "National Service" program under which high school graduates who need federal assistance for college would serve for two years in the military or on a community service program rather than receive and repay a government-sponsored loan. Proponents say that it will show the nation's youth that everyone benefiting from the rights of a democratic society must also recognize his or her responsibilities to that society.
Which one of the following points would be most useful to an opponent of the National Service program?
A. Students who choose not to go to college should not be obligated to participate in a National Service program.
B. Women would have fewer choices of positions in the military.
C. Students well-off enough not to need federal financial assistance could forego National Service
D. The federal assistance offered by a National Service program would not be adequate to completely pay for a college education.
E. Today's youth are greatly lacking in civic values and social responsibility.

The way the question stem is structured, it is not looking for something that weakens our conclusion. It is looking for something that will support the opponent. How are these two different? To support the opponent, we can point out a weakness of the plan. We don't necessarily have to rebut the point made by the supporter.
Supporter - The pro of the plan is that everyone benefitting will recognise responsibilities.
Opposer - The con of the plan is that those not benefitting will be able to get away from responsibilities. One would expect that all students must participate in a national service program as part of their duty towards their nation. But the rich will be able to get away because of this plan. Only those taking financial aid will need to participate. If all must participate then linking the plan to financial incentive is meaningless.
That is why (C) is correct.
(D) The federal assistance offered by a National Service program would not be adequate to completely pay for a college education.
Even if the assistance is not enough to completely pay off the college fees, it will still support. People needing aid will need to arrange for a smaller amount so they will be helped by the democratic society. It is not a point in favour of the opposers.
