Critical Reasoning

The G20 should identify those countries most at risk from global recession and ensure they are part of the solution. It should ensure that the voices of the poorest and the least powerful are heard and respected. Global recession should not be a pretext for global repression. The economic crisis will bring added pressure on governments from millions of newly unemployed people. There is already much talk of a difficult year for China, for example, as it faces a growing number of popular protests as economic growth slows.

The author's argument assumes which one of the following?

1)Recession will invariably lead to growing poverty.
2)The increasing pressure on Governments might lead to desperate measures by the international community.
3)Some of the worst affected countries may witness public outrage and worsening law and order situation
4)Every year more and more people will be unemployed
5)Economic growth will continue to slow down.
