The municipal government should subsidize high-speed internet in rural districts. Critics object that the costs are prohibitive, but this objection ignores the long-term economic stimulus that universal connectivity provides. After all, regions with better infrastructure consistently attract high-growth industries.
The claim that regions with better infrastructure consistently attract high-growth industries plays which one of the following roles in the argument?
- It is evidence advanced to support a subordinate claim that in turn backs the argument's main recommendation.
- It is the central recommendation the entire argument is designed to establish.
- It is a concession granting that the critics' cost objection has genuine force.
- It is scene-setting context that supplies no logical support to any other claim.
- It is an assumption that the argument never states but silently relies upon.
