GWD7-Q41:

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?

A.      Whether any other magazines in which the book was reviewed carried more than one review of the book

B.       Whether the magazine publishes unsolicited book reviews as well as those that it has commissioned

C.      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

D.      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

E.       Whether most of the readers of the magazine regularly read the book reviews that the magazine publishes

正确答案为C

这题题目我直接看不懂，太绕了……

请哪位哥哥，姐姐帮我指点一下啊，谢谢……

杂志人员说：我们是没有自由主义偏见的，因为虽然我们杂志收到了保守主义的文章，但是当我们随后收到了自由派的文章后，我们也会出版保守主义的文章，由此可见，我们的行动是自由和保守平衡的，而不是说单单只是支持自由派。

评价C是说当提前收到的观点是自由派的观点，那么杂志出版商也会等着随后的保守派的文章来后一起发表吗？

如果是的话，那么说明杂志是没有偏见的，确实是平衡。

如果否的话，那么说明杂志就是支持自由派，保守派的文章随后来也不发表，肯定是偏见啦。。
