medium · LSAT Logical Reasoning

The city council acted wrongly in approving the stadium subsidy. The subsidy will chiefly enrich a small group of already-wealthy team owners while raising taxes on ordinary residents, most of whom will rarely, if ever, use the stadium.

Which one of the following principles, if valid, most helps to justify the argument's conclusion?

  1. Government action is wrong when it burdens the public mainly to benefit an advantaged few.
  2. Government action is wrong whenever it benefits wealthy owners, unless it also creates any temporary employment.
  3. The construction of the stadium will in fact create a number of temporary jobs.
  4. Several other cities have approved comparable stadium subsidies without controversy.
  5. The team owners had contributed to the campaigns of several council members.
