The writer is considering adding the following sentence after sentence 14 to strengthen the case that basic income should be more widely accepted. Some news outlets suggest that since the trend is growing, it is only a matter of time before BI becomes a reality.

Should the writer add this sentence after sentence 14?

A. Yes, because this sentence shows that the writer is addressing an objection that the audience is likely to have basic income programs.

B. Yes, because a similar idea is stated earlier in the passage and the writer needs to provide support.

C. Yes, because the writer cannot support the line of reasoning in the paragraph without stating that the basic income trend is growing.

D. No, because the absence of specific sources or statements from those sources makes the claim of the sentence seems unsupported.

E. No, because these ideas were already developed earlier in the passage and do not need to be repeated.
