Subscription pricing
The conclusion in the stimulus, I believe, starts from "However, as a result of its attempt..."
Here, the taxpayer is saying that due to the fiscal irresponsibility of Metro City, they now have to spend a lot more money on reconstruction of its bridges.
However, I thought answer choice (A) is too strong and suggestive of an answer, therefore chose (D) after process of elimination.
Author clearly doesn't state that they 'should' have budgeted more money for maintenance of its bridges. So how is this a MP question? It seems like the stimulus contains premises and answer choice is the actual conclusion--more like a MSS question.
Can someone confirm that the last sentence is the conclusion, and also explain how answer choice A makes sense?

The conclusion of the argument is that Metro City has been financially irresponsible. (The first sentence is the conclusion.)
[Conclusion]. [Context]. However, [Premise].
So the taxpayer’s point is that the city should have budgeted more money. Although it is not explicit, I think this is a reasonable jump because the author is condemning the city's fiscal irresponsibility.
