Question
In the given question, a premise is provided; choose
the option that most strengthens the argument. The implementation of Universal Basic Income (UBI) is often touted as a solution to the displacement of workers by automation and artificial intelligence. By providing a guaranteed monthly payment to all citizens regardless of their employment status, UBI ensures that the basic needs of the population are met even as traditional jobs disappear. Recent pilot programs in small municipalities have shown that recipients of these payments do not stop working; instead, they use the financial security to pursue higher education or start small local businesses. Which of the following if true most strengthens the passage?Solution
The paragraph talks about how UBI provides financial security that encourages productive activities like education and entrepreneurship rather than discouraging work. B also talks about the tangible economic benefit and viability of the program by showing that the output of these new businesses outweighs the cost of the program. Thus, option (b) is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect. It focuses on administrative efficiency rather than the economic output or the behavioral shift of the recipients mentioned in the text. Option C is incorrect. It provides a counter-argument that weakens the premise rather than strengthening it. Option D is incorrect. It focuses on migration interests rather than the economic effectiveness of the UBI model itself.
