Scientist: Some critics of public funding for this research project have maintained that only if it can be indicated how the public will benefit from the project is continued public funding for it justified. If the critics were right about this, then there would not be the tremendous public support for the project that even its critics acknowledge. If the scientist’s claims are true, which one of the following must also be true?
(A) The benefits derived from the research project are irrelevant to whether or not its funding is justified.
(B) Continued public funding for the research project is justified.
(C) Public support for the research project is the surest indication of whether or not it is justified.
(D) There is tremendous public support for the research project because it can be indicated how the public will benefit from the project. Wec annot indicate this based on the information in the passage.
(E) That a public benefit can be indicated is not a requirement for the justification of the research project’s continued public funding.

Critics’ Claim: Critics argue that continued public funding is justified only if it can be shown how the public will benefit from the research project.
Scientist’s Rebuttal: The scientist argues that if the critics were right, then the project wouldn't have the tremendous public support that even the critics acknowledge.
Implication: The scientist suggests that public support for the project exists despite the critics' claim, implying that showing a specific public benefit may not be necessary for justifying the funding.
A. The benefits derived from the research project are irrelevant to whether or not its funding is justified.
Incorrect. The passage doesn't suggest that the benefits are completely irrelevant. Instead, it suggests that a specific indication of public benefit is not a requirement for justification, but that doesn't mean benefits are entirely irrelevant.
B. Continued public funding for the research project is justified.
Incorrect. The scientist doesn’t directly conclude that the project’s funding is justified. The argument is about the requirement for justification, not a claim that the funding is justified.
C. Public support for the research project is the surest indication of whether or not it is justified.
Incorrect. The argument doesn't claim that public support is the surest indicator of justification. It only uses public support to challenge the critics' position about needing to show public benefit for justification.
D. There is tremendous public support for the research project because it can be indicated how the public will benefit from the project.
Incorrect. The scientist’s argument suggests the opposite: that public support exists despite the critics’ claim that showing public benefit is necessary for justification.
E. That a public benefit can be indicated is not a requirement for the justification of the research project’s continued public funding.
Correct. This is a logical conclusion based on the scientist’s argument. The scientist suggests that public support exists even though the critics' condition (showing a public benefit) might not have been met, implying that showing a public benefit is not a necessary condition for justifying funding.
