Journalist:Well-known businessman Arnold Bergeron has long been popular in the state, and he has often talked about running for governor, but he has never run.However, we have just learned that Bergeron has fulfilled the financial disclosure requirement for candidacy by submitting a detailed list of his current financial holdings to the election commission.So, it is very likely that Bergeron will be a candidate for governor this year.
The answer to which of the following questions would be most useful in evaluating the journalist’s argument?
Has anybody else who has fulfilled the financial disclosure requirement for the upcoming election reported greater financial holdings than Bergeron?
Is submitting a list of holdings the only way to fulfill the election commission’s financial disclosure requirements?
Did the information recently obtained by the journalists come directly from the election commission?
Have Bergeron’s financial holdings increased in value in recent years?
Had Bergeron also fulfilled the financial disclosure requirements for candidacy before any previous gubernatorial elections?
Magazine Publisher:Our magazine does not have a liberal bias.It is true that when a book review we had commissioned last year turned out to express distinctly conservative views, we did not publish it until we had also obtained a second review that took a strongly liberal position.Clearly, however, our actions demonstrate not a bias in favor of liberal views but rather a commitment to a balanced presentation of diverse opinions.
Determining which of the following would be most useful in evaluating the cogency of the magazine publisher’s response?
Whether any other magazines in which the book was reviewed carried more than one review of the book
Whether the magazine publishes unsolicited book reviews as well as those that it has commissioned
Whether in the event that a first review commissioned by the magazine takes a clearly liberal position the magazine would make any efforts to obtain further reviews
Whether the book that was the subject of the two reviews was itself written from a clearly conservative or a clearly liberal point of view
Whether most of the readers of the magazine regularly read the book reviews that the magazine publishes
