1The concept of Universal Basic Income (UBI) has a long history, with its roots traced back to the late 18th century. 2Thomas Paine, one of the founding fathers of the United States, proposed a basic income for every citizen as a way to alleviate poverty and provide greater economic security. 3Since then, UBI has been advocated by various political figures, economists, and social activists, including Martin Luther King Jr., and Milton Friedman. 4The idea of UBI gained renewed interest in recent years due to: concerns about automation, job displacement, and rising inequality. 5Proponents of UBI argue that it can provide a safety net for all citizens, reduce poverty and inequality, and support the creation of a more equitable society.   6 _______________. 7Opponents argue that it could be too expensive and could discourage people from working, leading to a reduction in overall productivity and economic growth. 8Critics also contend that UBI could exacerbate existing inequalities, as wealthier individuals may not need the additional income and may not spend the money in ways that benefit society as a whole. 9Furthermore, some argue that UBI does not address the root causes of poverty, such as structural inequality and inadequate social services. 10Despite these concerns, UBI continues to be a topic of debate and experimentation in various countries around the world, with ongoing trials and pilot programs in places such as Finland, Canada, and Kenya.   Which statement, if added as Sentence 6, would be the most effective topic sentence for the second paragraph?
