Which of the following most logically completes the editorial below?

Editorial in Golbindian Newspaper: For almost three months, opposition parties

have been mounting（增多） daily street demonstrations in the capital in an effort to

pressure the ruling party into calling an election. Though the demonstrations

were well attended at first, attendance has declined steadily in recent weeks.

However, the decline in attendance does not indicate that popular support for

the opposition’s demands is dropping, since     

A.     the opposition’s demands have not changed during the period when the

street demonstrations have been mounted.

B.     No foreign governments have expressed any support for the opposition’s

demands.

C.     The state-controlled media have ceased any mention of the demonstrations,

leaving many citizens outside the capital with no way of knowing that

demonstrations continue.

D.     There have not recently been any antigovernment demonstrations in cities

other than the capital.

E.      A recent sharp decrease in unemployment has led to increased popular

support for the government.

关于这道题我的想法是这样，大家帮看看这样想对不对？

而C中媒体停止报道导致外部公民不知道所以参加数就下降了，但是不表明它们不支持反对党的要求了。

所以答案应该是C

E weaken the conclusion rather than support it.

噢，明白了。我一直以为E中那些公民支持government不是自愿的，而是由于不得已的支持造成了declined attendance，所以does not indicate that popular support for the opposition’s demands is dropping,

现在看来不是这样的，误解了呵呵

谁能解释为什么c会weakens droping的？？？

偶选了个A：（，看了一下C有点疑问呀
    

A.     the opposition’s demands have not changed during the period when the

street demonstrations have been mounted.

表示这些都没有变化，那么说drop了就说不过去，从而跟结论有一致性呀。

leaving many citizens outside the capital with no way of knowing that

demonstrations continue

但是C这里说 people outside the capital，不是说得偏了点么？文中一直说是capital  内的事呀，关外面的什么事？
