PrepTest 41, Section 3, Question 11
In order to maintain a high standard of living, a nation must maintain a functioning infrastructure. Major investment in the improvement of its infrastructure will, over time, reward a nation with a corresponding rise in its standard of living. Hence a nation whose standard of living is on the rise can be safely assumed to be a nation that has invested heavily in improving its infrastructure.

The reasoning in the argument is flawed because the argument fails to take into account that
a nation that fails to invest in its infrastructure need not experience any resulting decline in its standard of living
many nations are unable to make the needed investments in infrastructure
the rise in a nation's standard of living that is prompted by investment in its infrastructure may take a long time to occur
a rise in a nation's standard of living need not be the result of major investments in its infrastructure
nations often experience short-term crises that require that resources be diverted to purposes other than the maintenance and improvement of infrastructure
