The extent to which a society is really free can be gauged by its attitude towards artistic expression. Freedom of expression can easily be violated in even the most outwardly democratic of societies. When a government arts council withholds funding from a dance performance that its members deem “obscene”, the voices of a few bureaucrats have in fact censored the real obscenity of repression.
Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the argument above?- Failing to provide financial support for a performance is not the same as actively preventing or inhibiting it.
- The term obscenity has several different definitions that should not be used interchangeably for rhetorical effect.
- Members of government arts councils are screened to ensure that their beliefs reflect those of the majority.
- The council’s decision could be reversed if the performance were altered to conform to public standards of appropriateness.

Automation, however essential it may be to maximise a country's economic production and minimise its costs, should be rejected. The health care industry wants to increase revenues while reducing costs. Hence, it proposes greater automation of health care. This radical automation of health care would cause patients to lose trust in the system as the health care they would receive would lack the personal touch that, according to several studies, patients desire.
Which of the following expresses the main point of the argument?- Due to economic forces, automation of health care is inevitable.
- The health care industry should not be heavily automated
- Trends in the general economy do not apply to the health care industry.
- The health care industry is becoming too greedy.
- Patients desire personalised care.
