Based on the point of view presented,what is the best argument against this sale?

2)The viewing public is entitled to an unbiased presentation of all points of view
3)Other church groups have not had time to make their bids
4) Churches are supposed to be profit making businesses

I think its 5, is that correct?
Be sure you read the question carefully, especially this part:
what is the best argument against this sale
So is it 2?
Even if #5 is true, I agree that #2 is the answer to this question as it's phrased.
No, your answer is not correct. The best argument against this sale would be option 2: "The viewing public is entitled to an unbiased presentation of all points of view." Here's why:
To determine the best argument against the sale, we need to understand the different points of view presented. Option 1 argues against using tax money to support the church, option 2 focuses on the viewing public's entitlement to unbiased information, option 3 mentions the time constraints for other church groups to make their bids, option 4 suggests that churches should be profit-making businesses, and option 5 mentions the representation of the majority religion.
While option 5 might raise concerns about favoritism or religious bias, the best argument against the sale is option 2. It emphasizes the importance of media providing a platform for diverse perspectives and viewpoints without favoring any specific group or ideology. This argument strives to safeguard the principles of free speech, fair reporting, and a balanced presentation of information to the public.
