Newspaper editor should not allow reporters to write the headlines for their own stories. The reason for this is that, while the headlines that reporters themselves write are often clever, what typically makes them clever is that they allude to little-known information that is familiar to the reporter but that never appears explicitly in the story itself.

Which of the following ,if true ,most strengthens the argument ?

The reporter who writes a story is usually better placed than the reporter’s editor is to judge what the story’s most newsworthy features are.

To write a headline that is clever ,a person must have sufficient understanding of the story that the headline accompanies.

Most reporters rarely bother to find out how other reporters have written stories and headlines about the same events that they themselves have covered.

For virtually any story that a reporter writes, there are at least a few people who know more about the story’s subject matter than does the reporter.

The kind of headlines that newspaper editors want are those that anyone who has read a reporter’s story in its entirety will recognize as clever.

虽然排除可选出来，但是不太明白啥意思，求助

选E 因果结构，reporters给的headlines和editors想要的不一样（editors的出发点是整篇文章读者读起来清晰明了），所以not allow

我也选择E

Arguments: headlines which are written by the reporters are clever, but they are sometimes only clever to reporters.
as such headlines may contain information that only make sense to reporters but not to the readers even the readers
have already finished the report.
Conclusion: the editor should never allow reporters to write the headlines.

我觉得做CR最重要的一点，就是把题目变成自己的语言，找出问题的key point。

每个人做CR的优势不一样，我个人建议看RON的视频，用西方人的思维回答西方人的问题。

let us simplify the argument given --

Headlines that reporters write allude to little-known information that is familiar to the reporter but does not appear explicitly in the story --> Editors should not allow reporters to write the headlines for their own stories

let us take a look at the answer options given --

Option A - Incorrect

If the reporter is better placed than the editor to judge the story's most newsworthy features, then probably the editor should let the reporter decide on the headlines. This weakens the conclusion.

Option B - Incorrect

Not relevant as the argument is concerned about whether reporters should get to decide the headlines for their stories. We have no information to evaluate whether the person who will write the headline has sufficient information about the story or not. If he does not, then this weakens the argument.

Option C - Incorrect

How other reporters have written stories and headlines for the same events is not relevant to evaluating the conclusion.

Option D - Incorrect

This can either strengthen or weaken the argument. If the number of people who know more than the reporter is limited, then the argument is strengthened. However, if the number is quite high, the argument is weakened since a lot of people now can relate to the headlines. Since, this does both, it is incorrect.

Option E - Correct answer

If the editor wants people who have read the stories to recognize the headline as clever, there is no point in letting the reporters choose the headlines as they allude to information that does appear in the story.

选E

要仔细先看懂论点和论据
论点：
Newspaper editor should not allow reporters to write the headlines for their own stories

看后面写的应该是论据。乍一看，不太清楚为什么这么说。仔细琢磨，推敲作者说后面话必然要提出一个原因，为什么
what typically makes the headlines clever is that they allude to little-known information that is familiar to the reporter but that never appears explicitly in the story itself.
story 是卖给读者看的。如果headlines只是记者自己懂，读者看完故事并不理解headlines，就有点问题了。这就是作者后面这几句话潜在的原因，为什么should not allow reporters to write the headlines for their own stories

E
The kind of headlines that newspaper editors want are those that anyone who has read a reporter’s story in its entirety will recognize as clever.
编辑要的是读者看故事后感觉巧妙的headlines。
当然支持结论。

我觉得你 explicitly point out the real argument of the question which is the editors don't think reporter's title as clever title. 但是这个题目这层意思好隐晦啊，而且超级担心自己过度推测。
