求教大全-c-10

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.（C）

(E) A greater good may sometimes require acceptance of a lesser evil.

为什么D对啊，原文中没有提到啊

夷，我以前怎么看到这句话啊

谢谢LAYWER

題目的結論是說,哥倫布和政府一樣,為了有意義的事情而小騙了一下.所以我覺得若對(A)取非則是直接weaken結論.

新手推論,還望大家指教^_^

请问整个文章的论点是什么：

press should not indulge in outburst of indignation of the use of the false info by the US govern？

论据：the deception is useful,  one example

am I right?

Deception for deception’s sake should not be condoned.

这句话怎么翻译啊？为了欺骗而欺骗是不能宽恕的？

偶同意这样的翻译，因为文中有No one endorses needless deception，也就是说人们可以容忍有意义的欺骗。

这道题的答案到底是D还是C啊??
