Journalist: Well-knownbusinessman Arnold Bergeron has long been popular in the state, and hehas often talked about running for governor, but he has never run. However,we have just learned that Bergeron has fulfilled the financialdisclosure requirement for candidacy by submitting a detailed list ofhis 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?

Hasanybody else who has fulfilled the financial disclosure requirement forthe 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?

我可以理解为什么E对，但是我不能理解为什么A错。仿佛argument的核心是"So, it is very likely that Bergeron will be a candidate for governor this year."而他的核心论据则是“has fulfilled the financialdisclosure requirement for candidacy……"我以为这犯了个最基本的错误，那就是符合了要求就能当选。而A选项似乎是削弱了意思，提出了还有其他人符合要求。
不理解，请赐教……

好久没看G了，今天闲得没事，过来看看，这个A出现了无关比较，所以应该排除。
financial holdings的多少与本题是否能成为候选人是没有关系的，至少文中没有说。这儿你觉得削弱是因为你自己给他强加了个生活常识，就是holdings多就更有可能当选。
Obama的holdings和希拉里哪个多？god knows

这道题属于OG里的argument evaluation型，就是针对某个观点，找出一个方向来评价这个观点是对还是错，所以选项必须要与这个观点有直接关系，并且可以yes or no的去证明这个观点对和错。
这个题目的观点是说bergenon本人的事情，A是无关的啊，any body else跟Bergenon有什么关系？所以可以排除掉
