Teacher: Journalists who conceal the identity of the sources they quote stake their professional reputations on what may be called the logic of anecdotes. This is so because the statements reported by such journalists are dissociated from the precise circumstances in which they were made and thus will be accepted for publication only if the statements are high in plausibility or originality or interest to a given audience—precisely the properties of a good anecdote. Student: But what you are saying, then, is that the journalist need not bother with sources in the first place. Surely, any reasonably resourceful journalist can invent plausible, original, or interesting stories faster than they can be obtained from unidentified sources. 17. The student’s response contains which one of the following reasoning flaws? (A) confusing a marginal journalistic practice with the primary work done by journalists (B) ignoring the possibility that the teacher regards as a prerequisite for the publication of an unattributed statement that the statement have actually been made(选项意思没看懂) (C) confusing the characteristics of reported statements with the characteristics of the situations in which the statements were made (D) judging the merits of the teacher’s position solely by the most extreme case to which the position applies (E) falsely concluding that if three criteria, met jointly, assure an outcome, then each criterion, met individually, also assures that outcome 答案B, 还请大家帮忙, 题目的teacher 和student的逻辑关系我看懂了, 可是B的意思没看懂, B中的ignore the possibility...对应的是文中的什么地方啊? 如果问题过于愚蠢,还请大家多包涵!
teacher:说 only if the statements are high in plausibility or originality or interest to a given audience—precisely the properties of a good anecdote。注意这是个必要条件。但学生理解成充要条件了。this is so because the statements reported by such journalists are dissociated from the precise circumstances in which they were made 。这句话回答了答案B 中的可能性。 B的意思是学生忽视了一种可能，（老师认为报道已经真是发生的是一个没有依附的报道发表的前提）。 不知我解释的是否正确。
B) says student ingores another necessary condtion that the "unattibuted" statement( statement's source not indetified) is actually made in the first place. So teacher's real point is
good anecdote ---> statement actaully made + reporter's disassoication with the source (sort of speaking)
