Summarize Argument

The government should spend more on preventing chemical spills. Why? First, the current focus on cleanup isn’t keeping up with new spills. Second, prevention is more effective than cleanup. Finally, we learn that current annual spending on all spill prevention is less than annual spending on just one cleanup site. These premises lead to the conclusion that we should spend more on prevention than we are currently spending.

Identify Argument Part

The claim about how the government’s budget should be redirected is the main conclusion of the argument.
