The argument concludes that the proposed tax reduction package will not be adopted this year based on the fact that if it were adopted, the library would be forced to discontinue daily story hours, which would in turn greatly inconvenience parents.
To support this conclusion, the assumption must connect the idea of the proposed tax reduction package causing inconvenience to parents with the outcome that the tax package will not be adopted. Essentially, the assumption must bridge the fact that if parents are inconvenienced, the tax reduction package will not be adopted.
Option Analysis:
(A) This option states that any tax reduction package that doesn't force the library to discontinue daily story hours will be adopted. However, this doesn't address the inconvenience to parents or why that would prevent the package from being adopted. This option is not sufficient to draw the conclusion.
(B) This option states that every tax reduction package that forces the library to discontinue daily story hours would greatly inconvenience parents. While this is true based on the information provided in the argument, it does not connect the inconvenience to the conclusion that the package will not be adopted. It just reiterates a premise and is not the assumption needed.
(C) This option states that no tax reduction package that would greatly inconvenience parents would fail to force the library to discontinue daily story hours. This is somewhat convoluted and simply restates a correlation between inconvenience and discontinuation, without addressing the conclusion.
(D) This option states that no tax reduction package that would greatly inconvenience parents will be adopted this year. This assumption directly connects the inconvenience to parents with the outcome that the tax reduction package will not be adopted, which is exactly what the argument needs to draw the conclusion.
(E) This option states that any tax reduction package that does not greatly inconvenience parents will be adopted. While it seems somewhat related, it focuses on situations where there is no inconvenience rather than addressing what happens when there is inconvenience. Thus, it doesn’t support the argument as directly as option D does.
Conclusion:
The correct answer is (D) because it properly links the inconvenience to parents with the conclusion that the proposed tax reduction package will not be adopted this year.
