Reporter: The municipal department spends a lot of money on constructing concrete roads. It is difficult to fathom the departments choice to build concrete roads, when it can easily lay cheaper roads using permeable materials. Therefore, a petition should be written to the government to stop laying roads using concrete and start laying roads using permeable paving materials.
Which of the following, if known, would be most relevant in assessing the reporters argument?
A. Whether the municipal departments previous plans have been cost effective
B. Whether the process of laying roads with concrete is similar to that of laying roads using permeable paving materials
C. Whether the reporter supports the present government or is a proponent of the opposition party
D. Whether other states have been using the permeable materials to construct their roads
E. Whether the price the government has to pay for maintaining roads in good condition is more for roads paved using permeable paving materials versus roads paved with concrete![]()
