23.    Political scientist: One of the most interesting dilemmas in contemporary democratic politics concerns the regulation of political campaign spending. People certainly should be free, within broad limits, to spend their money as they choose. On the other hand, candidates who can vastly outspend all rivals have an unfair advantage in publicizing their platforms. Democratic governments have a strong obligation to ensure that all voices have an equal chance to be heard, but governments should not subsidize expensive campaigns for each candidate. The resolution of the dilemma, therefore, is clear: _______.

     Which one of the following most logically completes the political scientist’s argument?
(A) only candidates with significant campaign resources should be permitted to run for public office
(B) an upper limit on the political campaign spending of each candidate is warranted
(C) government subsidization of all political campaigns at a low percentage of their total cost is warranted
(D) all wealthy persons should be prohibited from spending their own money on political campaigns
(E) each candidate should be allowed to spend as much money on a political campaign as any other candidate     chooses to spend

答案是(B).我是知道其他几个为什么不对,但是B为什么对我搞不太清楚.因为我觉得文中承认:人们有权花他们想花的钱.现在B却给他们的选择加上了一个最高限制,这样虽然平等问题好象解决了,但是又增加了花钱的限制,岂不是没有解决这个dilemma?还请高手指教.

文中有两个STATEMENT:
1)People certainly should be free, within broad limits, to spend their money as they choose. -- 注意: within broad limits
2)  an equal chance to be heard, .. governments should not subsidize 
这两个STATEMENT在处理选举上有冲突. 文中要求补充的部分就是要一个解决办法
A)只有富人才能有被选举权 --  打死也不能选它. LSAT绝对不会有违背COMMON SENSE的选项.
B)  UPPER LIMT -- within broad limits ; 同第一个STATMENT没有冲突,有可以结局第二个STATEMENT. 保留
C) subsidization -- "governments should not subsidize" ,同第二个STATEMENT 冲突, KICK OUT
D) be prohibited from spending their own money -- 同第一个STATEMENT 冲突,'permit ... to spend their money as they choose"
E) 没有解决第二个STATEMENT中提出的问题.

B是唯一的选项.

嘿嘿,我第一做的时候也错了. 有点事后诸葛亮,汗一把

nidm谢了,没有注意 with broad limits,于是就觉得一个答案都不对了.还是阅读上出了问题.
