PrepTest 86, Section 3, Question 11
As part of a project to enhance the downtown area, the transit authority plans to build a majestic new subway station on the Longview line. However, the current design of the station does not include a connection to the nearby Waterfront line. Adding a tunnel from the station to the Waterfront line using the current design would make the station much more convenient to commuters but would also put the project over budget. Since the budget cannot be increased, a more modest station should be built so that a tunnel can be included.

Which one of the following principles, if valid, most helps to justify the reasoning in the argument above?
The transit authority should design a subway station that costs less than the amount budgeted.
The transit authority should consider all potential additions to the subway station that would make it more convenient to commuters.
In the enhancement of the downtown area, convenience to commuters should be given priority over majestic design.
Unless a subway station can be built within budget that is both convenient to commuters and in keeping with the new design, the transit authority should abandon plans to build a station.
The new subway station should enhance the downtown area more than any other potential project that is similar in cost.
