All Vargonian children are entitled to education, free of charge, in these schools When a recession occurs and average incomes fall, the number of children enrolled in government-funded schools tends to increase. Therefore, though most employment opportunities contract in economic recessions, getting a teaching job in Vargonia's government-funded schools will not be made more difficult by a recession.

Which of the following would be most important to in order to evaluate the argument?

  • A Whether in Vargonia there are any schools not funded by the government that offer children an education free of charge
  • B Whether the number of qualified applicants for teaching positions in government-funded schools increases significantly during economic recessions
  • C What the current student-teacher ratio in Vargonia's government-funded schools is
  • D What proportion of Vargonia's workers currently hold jobs as teachers in government-funded schools
  • E Whether in the past a number of government-funded schools in Vargonia have had student-teacher ratios well in excess of the new limit
