A professional baseball team manager, in order to have the funds to sign a new second-baseman, discreetly arranged to trade one of the most popular outfielders on the team for a lesser-known player and an undisclosed amount of money. The manager secretly considered the outfielder to be overrated and overpaid. Reporters forcefully criticized the trade, arguing that the team had lost its best player and that the manager had violated his fiduciary duties to the team and the fans. A few weeks after being traded, the outfielder was retraded, for twice the value received by the original team manager. Plainly, the outfielder' s price shows that the reporters' criticism of the manager' s action was accurate. The reasoning in the argument is vulnerable to the criticism that the argument does which one of the following? ['The argument bases its conclusion on what the best decision is for the present on uncertain projections about what the best decision will be for the future.', 'The argument rejects a well-established way of achieving an end without explaining why an unconventional way is better suited for achieving the end.', 'The argument ignores the opinions of expert reporters in the field of baseball when there is no superior source of information.', "The argument bases its conclusion on facts that could, considering the circumstances, have been the product of circumstances other than those presumed by the argument's proponents."]
