Question

select the correct answer.
how accurate is the author’s argument that budgetary concerns are not a valid reason for canceling the production?
a. accurate, because the author supports his argument with ways the drama department has saved money
b. not accurate, because the author fails to provide any proof of money - saving ideas in the drama department
c. accurate, because the author provides the specific amounts of money the drama department is spending
d. not accurate, because the author does not provide details about the props needed for the production

Explanation:

To determine the accuracy of the author's argument about budgetary concerns not being a valid reason to cancel the production, we analyze each option:

• Option A: If the author shows how the drama department saved money (e.g., cost - saving measures), then budgetary concerns as a cancellation reason would be less valid. This makes the argument accurate.
• Option B: The argument's accuracy isn't about proving money - saving ideas but about whether budget concerns are valid. So this is incorrect.
• Option C: Specific spending amounts aren't necessary to counter the budget - based cancellation argument; showing cost - savings (in general ways) is enough. So this is incorrect.
• Option D: Props details are irrelevant to the budgetary concerns about canceling the production. So this is incorrect.

Answer:

A. accurate, because the author supports his argument with ways the drama department has saved money
