Argument: "Art should be funded publicly."Which weakens it?
Correct answer: C. Funding public health is more urgent
- A. Art is subjective
- B. Some art offends people
- C. Funding public health is more urgent
- D. Art is everywhere
Explanation
The correct answer is Option C: Funding public health is more urgent. This statement suggests that there are more pressing needs for public funds, thereby weakening the argument that art should be funded publicly. Option A discusses the subjective nature of art, which does not directly undermine the argument for public funding. Option B addresses the controversial nature of some art but does not inherently argue against public funding. Option D suggests art's ubiquity, which does not counter the argument for public support.
