From time to time, the press indulges in outbursts of indignation over the use of false or misleading information by the U.S. government in support of its policies and programs. No one endorses needless deception. But consider this historical analogy. It is known that Christopher Columbus, on his first voyage to the New World, deliberately falsified the log to show a shorter sailing distance for each day out than the ships had actually traveled. In this way, Columbus was able to convince his skeptical sailors that they had not sailed past the point at which they expected to find the shores of India. Without this deception, Columbus’s sailors might well have mutinied, and the New World might never have been discovered.
*10. The author of the passage above assumes each of the following EXCEPT:
(A) Government deception of the press is often motivated by worthy objectives.
(B) Without government deception, popular support for worthwhile government policies and programs might well fade.
(C) Attacks on the government by the press are often politically motivated.
(D) Deception for deception’s sake should not be condoned.
(E) A greater good may sometimes require acceptance of a lesser evil.

给的官方答案是c,但是搜了cd上的好几个帖子，答案不统一，，连lawyer大神也在别的帖子里说是d嘛？？？为什么啊，，有能统一一下答案并说个理由的么？？

应该是c,因为全文没有提及相关内容。而D is implied in 'No one endorses needless deception'

谢谢！！不过对于D我还是有疑问的，这不就和原文“no one endorses needless deception”是一个意思嘛，，和原文一个意思也算是assumption么。。。。

从逻辑上来看 C 和 D 都是正确答案，但是考虑到GMAC的出题规律，我倾向于选 D。
因为，在EXCEPT题目里面，正确选项往往是旗帜鲜明而不是模棱两可的。

C选项，题目中没有提到相关内容。
D选项，和题目中的信息完全相反。

D更符合GMAC的出题思路。
