The Upland computer center cannot keep operating for the coming year. It needs $2.5 million to run, and its budget from the university will only be $1.5 million.

What if the university budget weren’t the sole source of funds for the computer center? For example, it could raise additional money through alumni donations. The center wouldn’t necessarily have to close in that case. Consequently, to guarantee the conclusion, the author must assume that the university budget is the only possible source of funds.

This doesn’t help the author’s conclusion that the center must close. If money is left over from last year, it could be used to make up this year’s shortfall.

We’re only concerned with the computer center, so the budgets of other programs are irrelevant.

If true, the center must rely only on the funds provided by the university. And we know that those funds are insufficient to keep the center operational. Consequently, (C) guarantees the author’s conclusion that the center must stop operating.

We already know that the computer center can’t get more funds diverted to it. So whether this is also true for other programs is irrelevant.

The board’s beliefs are irrelevant here; what matters is the funding they allocated.
