Hi Mmjd,
You're right that if this were a Justify question, then Answer A would need to match (or at least include) the relevant terms in the argument in order to prove the conclusion.
In this argument though, the premise with the Double-arrow
Subsidize quality day care <-> available to families of all income levels
Wouldn't necessarily even be needed for a Justify answer.
Imagine that we just have a premise:
Each government should do all that it can to improve the well-being of all children in that society,.
Then we have a conclusion:
Governments should help finance high-quality daycare.
The way to Justify this argument would be:
The only way to improve the well-being of all children in society is to help finance high-quality daycare.
Of course, as you pointed out, this is not exactly what Answer A says, as taking an interest in the well-being of children is not synonymous with improving their well-being. I suppose it would be theoretically possible to improve the well-being of children without actually taking an interest in their well-being.
