Which of the following statements, if true, would strengthen the argument given in the passage?
Government transparency, the idea that government should be open about what it is doing with its citizens, has been around since the enlightenment when parliaments began to be more powerful than kings. Governmental transparency is a part of good governance in a democracy because information is a public good. Every citizen should know what their government is doing on their behalf. In theory, this should apply to everything the government does, from transparency in what the government does with garbage through how elections are fought to the military. It is unreasonable to exclude national security when the rest of the government has to be more transparent.
1.A democratic nation should have free and fair elections.
2.Nowadays, most of the information one needs can be accessed online.
3.Transparency helps reduce international conflicts and geopolitical tensions.
4.Good governance is the process of measuring how public institutions conduct public affairs and manage public resources.
5.Transparency in national security and defence endangers the lives of military personnel and citizens.
