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

 

1. Has anybody else who has fulfilled the financial disclosure requirement for the upcoming election reported greater financial holdings than Bergeron?
2. Is submitting a list of holdings the only way to fulfill the election commission’s financial disclosure requirements?
3. Did the information recently obtained by the journalists come directly from the election commission?
4. Have Bergeron’s financial holdings increased in value in recent years?
5. Had Bergeron also fulfilled the financial disclosure requirements for candidacy before any previous gubernatorial elections?

答案是E。为什么是E？请NN解释一下，为什么B不对？

e选享有个生词gubernatorial 是州长的，最关键的词是before，e选项说bergeron是否在在以前的州长选举之前都满足了作为候选人财务披露的要求(也就是说在还未成为候选人之前)。如果试着回答yes，那么bereron在每次州长选举之前就满足了要求，但是根据前面所说的，他从来未正式参加过竞选，那么就可以回答这次他也可能不会参加竞选，反之亦成立（注意这类问题对答案试着回答看能不能祈祷加强或削弱的作用）。

b选项提交清单是满足选举委员会财务披露要求的唯一途径吗，如果回答是，也只能从原文推出他是要满足 fulfilled the financial disclosure requirement ，我们根本推不出来他到底将成不成为一个候选人，这是对原文的 fulfilled the financial disclosure requirement for candidacy by submitting a detailed list of his current financial holdings to the election commission的复述
