Resolve a Paradox
In a local environmental magazine, the editor argues that our community has a fantastic opportunity to engage with nature through the newly established wildlife sanctuary that allows residents to observe local flora and fauna. It has come to my attention that very few community groups organize visits to the sanctuary, and I believe that residents are missing out on this chance. All community groups should be encouraged to organize trips to the sanctuary, and funding should be allocated to support this initiative. A visit to this remarkable place will enrich the lives of all community members and provide them with lasting memories.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the argument made in the editorial?
Answer Choices
Correct answer marked belowA

Correct
D
The wildlife sanctuary already provides substantial discounts for group visits, and the community has limited funds for additional support.
E
Recent increases in transportation costs have led community groups to reduce outings and focus on local projects.
