Argument: 'The recent increase in local park attendance is due to the new playground equipment installed last month.'

Which of the following, if true, most weakens the argument?

  1. The new playground equipment is built from sustainable, recycled materials and is rated to be highly durable for many years to come.
  2. Several local families reported coming to the park specifically to try out the brand-new playground equipment.
  3. Attendance at parks in neighboring cities, which installed no new equipment, has remained completely stable over the same period.
  4. The new equipment ended up costing the city far more money to purchase and to install than the previous playground equipment did.
  5. The local community center, which previously hosted most youth activities, has been closed for renovations since last month.
