Complete Question Explanation
Must Be True. The correct answer choice is (A)
The critics argue that the report only focuses on the short term instead of a genuine direction for the future. The report’s authors argue that to do anything at all, they must first secure government funding, and they need these pragmatic solutions to get such funding. If they instead focus on producing a coherent vision as the critics suggest, they would lose all government funding, and the program would cease to exist altogether.
Answer choice (A): This is the correct answer choice. The report’s authors argue that if they were to focus on finding a coherent vision for the future of the program, they will lose the government funding altogether, and nothing else would be possible. Thus it is premature to address the lack of a coherent vision at this point.
Answer choice (B): The report’s authors do not argue that the critic’s motives are self-serving.
Answer choice (C): The report’s authors acknowledge the lack of a coherent vision, they just argue that they are in need of the government funding first. They do not argue that the notion of a coherent vision is inappropriate.
Answer choice (D): The report’s authors do not claim that they are more knowledgeable than the critics.
Answer choice (E): The report’s authors do not claim that a single focus is any less desirable than the critics claim.
