9. The journalistic practice of fabricating remarks after an interview and printing them within quotation marks, as if they were the interviewee's own words, has been decried as a form of unfair misrepresentation. However, people's actual spoken remarks rarely convey their ideas as clearly as does a distillation of those ideas crafted, after an interview, by a skilled writer. Therefore, since this practice avoids the more serious misrepresentation that would occur if people's exact words were quoted but their ideas only partially expressed, it is entirely defensible.

Which one of the following is a questionable technique used in the argument?

(A) answering an exaggerated charge by undermining the personal authority of those who made that charge .
(B) claiming that the prestige of a profession provides ample grounds for dismissing criticisms of that profession.
(C) Offering as an adequate defense of a practice an observation that discredits only one of several possible alternatives to that practice.
(D) concluding that a practice is right on the grounds that it is necessary.
(E) using the opponent's admission that a practice is sometimes appropriate as conclusiveproof that that practice is never inappropriate.

答案c 能帮我分析一下文章推理么

在提炼后的句子上加引号，搞得就像引号内的是被采访者的原话一样。这个被说是歪曲报道。

下面就是为这种提炼辩护。说：

往往被采访者的原话不能完全反映表达他的全部观点，而只是一部分的观点。以上的提炼更能convey their ideas，且能避免更大的麻烦出现，所以是可以被辩护的。

（C) Offering 【as an adequate defense of a practice】 an observation 【that discredits only one of several possible alternatives to that practice】.

提出一种意见，这种意见是作为对一个惯例的足够的辩护。提出的这个意见 只是削弱了 这种惯例所可能带来的反面效果之一 的可信性。
