16.   Advertiser: The revenue that newspapers and magazines earn by publishing advertisements allows publishers to keep the prices per copy of their publications much lower than would otherwise be possible. Therefore, consumers benefit economically from advertising.

Consumer: But who pays for the advertising that pays for low-priced newspapers and magazines? We consumers do, because advertisers pass along advertising costs to us through the higher prices they charge for their products.

Which of the following best describes how the consumer counters the advertiser’s argument?

(A) By alleging something that, if true, would weaken the plausibility of the advertiser’s conclusion

(B) By questioning the truth of the purportedly factual statement on which the advertiser’s conclusion is based

(C) By offering an interpretation of the advertiser’s opening statement that, if accurate, shows that there is an implicit contradiction in it

(D) By pointing out that the advertiser’s point of view is biased（A）

(E) By arguing that the advertiser too narrowly restricts the discussion to the effects of advertising that are economic

为什么不可以选c呢，consumer不就是给了advertiser 的话一种延伸，是他自相矛盾吗

你读出了 第二人是把第一个人的话延伸了，他考虑到了第一个人没有考虑到的东西，所以是alleging something，而削弱其最后得出的结论weaken the plausibility of the advertiser’s conclusion

C里面的interpretation ，是翻译的意思，就是提供了一个解释，不包括借题发挥和引申的含意。请仔细体会其意思

An explanation or a conceptualization by a critic of a work of literature, painting, music, or other art form; an exegesis.

这种类型的逻辑题和BF题有几分类似，一是要清楚逻辑关系，二是要对选项中的抽象词熟悉并真正掌握
