In several cities, the government is going ahead with ambitious construction projects despite the high office-vacancy rates in those cities. The vacant offices, though available for leasing, unfortunately do not meet the requirements for the facilities needed, such as court houses and laboratories. The government, therefore, is not guilty of any fiscal wastefulness.


Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument above depends?


(A) Adaptation of vacant office space to meet the government’s requirements, if possible, would not make leasing such office space a more cost-effective alternative to new construction.

(B) The government prefers leasing facilities to owning them in cases where the two alternatives are equally cost-effective.

(C) If facilities available for leasing come very close to meeting the government’s requirements for facilities the government needs, the government can relax its own requirements slightly and consider those facilities in compliance.

(D) The government’s construction projects would not, on being completed, add to the stock of facilities available for leasing in the cities concerned.

(E) Before embarking on any major construction project, the government is required by law to establish beyond any reasonable doubt that there are no alternatives that are more cost-effective.

My take..

either (a) or (e)


better choice wud be (E) as it is must for the govt. to be sure of the fact that no other cost effective solns are available...as it is going ahead with construction..that has to be most cost effective option available...

My take
Option (C)

Reason-E comes close,but,survivors vs his/her is wrong.A begins with that,which is wrong.in B and D,they cannot treat their symptoms.

"Chance of" is idiomatic

C/D/E remains.

D does not fit .
C is better than E......clear and concise.

post your explanation

tough one

given:
govt is constructing despite of high vacancy rates.
but,the vacant offices do not have adequate facilities.
hence,the govt's step is not wasteful.

now,the assumption is that,the vacant offices cannot be reconstructed at a lower cost.
i think,it should be option (A)

survivors is plural and so,his/her was not apt.

'to treat' means that,the survivors could treat themselves,which,i feel is wrong .

... OA is A


the goverment is going ahead with ambitious construction projects.

why ? is it a waste ? why they could not use the leasing facilities ?

(A) Adaptation of vacant office space to meet the government’s requirements, if possible, would not make leasing such office space a more cost-effective alternative to new construction.

thats the assumption
