Explanation
Reading the question: we glance at the prompt but skip
down and check out the question stem. The understated language "most strongly
support" tips us off that we can answer this question by proving in stronger
terms. We will determine which answer choice must be true, given the
prompt.
Logical proof: Choice (A) need not be true - we just have
grounds to know it must be true - so
it's out. Choice (B) sounds false, because we know there is the problem with
the unrestricted incentives. (C) is wrong: the prompt makes clear that there
are two key things we need, not just one. (C) is out.
(D) has some potential: it's at least pointing out that there are problems with
getting the investment done. We're down to (D) and (E). One must be true, given
the prompt; the other need not be true. In (E), "overwhelming" is a very strong
term that decreases the quality of the answer. After all, we don't really need
overwhelming popular support--only enough for the incentives to be unrestricted
and for support to local businesses to be in place. So (E) is out. Meanwhile,
the prompt states as a fact that if Kokua offers
incentives, the people will make demands messing it up. According to the
prompt, it hasn't already happened, but it's a fact that it's likely to
happen. On those grounds, it must be true that failure is likely. The correct
answer is (D).
