Resident: Residents of this locale should not consider their loss of farming as a way of life to be a tragedy. When this area was a rural area it was economically depressed, but it is now a growing bastion of high-tech industry with high-wage jobs, and supports over 20 times the number of jobs it did then. Which one of the following, if true, does the most to justify the conclusion of the resident's argument? ['Residents of this locale do not value a rural way of life more than they value economic prosperity.', 'The development of high-tech industry is more valuable to national security than is farming.', 'The loss of a family farm is often perceived as tragic even when no financial hardship results.', 'Many residents of this locale have annual incomes that are twice what they were when the locale was primarily agricultural.']
