Editorial: It has been suggested that private, for-profit companies should be hired to supply clean drinking water to areas of the world where it is unavailable now. But water should not be supplied by private companies. After all, clean water is essential for human health, and the purpose of a private company is to produce profit, not to promote health.

Question
26

Which one of the following principles, if valid, would most help to justify the reasoning in the editorial?

A private company should not be allowed to supply a commodity that is essential to human health unless that commodity is also supplied by a government agency.

If something is essential for human health and private companies are unwilling or unable to supply it, then it should be supplied by a government agency.

Drinking water should never be supplied by an organization that is not able to consistently supply clean, safe water.

The mere fact that something actually promotes human health is not sufficient to show that its purpose is to promote health.

If something is necessary for human health, then it should be provided by an organization whose primary purpose is the promotion of health.
