Governmnet -subsidized insurance available to homeowners makes it feasible for anyone to build a house on a section of coastline regularly struck by hurricanes. Each major storm causes billions of dollars worth of damage in such coastal areas, after which owners who have insurance are able to collect an amount of money sufficient to recoup a high percentage of their losses.
The passage provides the most support for an argument against a government bill proposing
A) that power companies be required to bury power lines in areas of the coastline regularly struck by hurricanes
B) an increase in funding of weather service programs that provide a hurricane watch for coastal areas
C) renewal of federal funding for emergency life-support programs in hurricane-stricken areas
D) establishment of an agency committed to managing coastal lands in ecologically responsible ways
E) establishment of a contingency fund protecting owners of uninsured houses in the coastal areas from catastrophic losses due to the hurriucane damage

IMO E:
E is talking about uninsured people.
While the argument is talking about subsidize insurance and then saying "feasible for anyone to build a house".
So if uninsured people make the house then government has to fund them.

i chose E for this argument because the argument seems to support insurance company and just says how benefit the people get if they buy insurrance. if buy insurance, they will get money enough to recoup their losses after hurrican and the insurance also gets benefit from selling insurrance.pharmxanthan wrote:Governmnet -subsidized insurance available to homeowners makes it feasible for anyone to build a house on a section of coastline regularly struck by hurricanes.

if the government subsidizes the money to people who didnt buy insurrance, it will harm the insurrance company's benifit.
thus the argument against the government bill if government gives money for poeple who dont want to buy insurrance.

if gov provided the compensation to uninsured for the damage, everybody would want to be uninsured. In that case gov has to shed more money than does currently by subsidizing the insurance. Moreover by becoming uninsured people can save their part of premiums. Mind that the insurance is subsidized not sponsored.

This is simple one. Other than E all are out of scope.

I understand the premise what I don't understand is the question
The passage provides the most support for an argument against a government bill proposing
Is this a weaken question?
