Give it a shot. OA after some discussions.
In order to compensate for rising costs within the state prison system, one state legislator recommends increasing the amount of money allotted to state prisons by ten percent per prisoner. The legislator claims that this will increase the overall budget for the prison system by ten percent in the coming years.
On which of the following assumptions does the legislator's argument depend?
A) The rising costs within the state prison system are not the result of an increase in the number of prisoners in the system.
B) The total number of prisoners in the state prison system will not decrease in upcoming years.
C) The number of people who are sentenced to non-prison sentences, like community service, rather than prison sentences, will not increase.
D) The total number of prisons in use in the state will not decrease from its current level.
E) The average number of prisoners in each prison will not decrease in the coming years.
