Admittedly, the proposed bridge will be costly to build. But expense alone should not settle the question. The existing ferry crossing causes hours of delay each day and constrains commerce between the two shores. A bridge would remove these delays and expand regional trade - benefits that justify the outlay.
The claim that the proposed bridge will be costly to build plays which one of the following roles?
- It is an allegation the author rejects as factually false.
- It is a claim the argument dismisses as false.
- It is the main conclusion of the argument.
- A point the argument concedes but contends is outweighed by other considerations.
- It is in fact the principal evidence for the argument's recommendation, because project cost is treated as the controlling consideration for whether public investment should proceed.
