GWD7-Q41:---answer wrong?

Magazine Publisher:  Our magazine does not have a liberal bias.  It is true that when a book review we had commissioned last year turned out to express distinctly conservative views, we did not publish it until we had also obtained a second review that took a strongly liberal position.  Clearly, however, our actions demonstrate not a bias in favor of liberal views but rather a commitment to a balanced presentation of diverse opinions.

 

Determining which of the following would be most useful in evaluating the cogency of the magazine publisher’s response?

      

A.      Whether any other magazines in which the book was reviewed carried more than one review of the book

B.       Whether the magazine publishes unsolicited book reviews as well as those that it has commissioned

C.      Whether in the event that a first review commissioned by the magazine takes a clearly liberal position the magazine would make any efforts to obtain further reviews

D.      Whether the book that was the subject of the two reviews was itself written from a clearly conservative or a clearly liberal point of view

E.       Whether most of the readers of the magazine regularly read the book reviews that the magazine publishes

 

Why is C?

The question means two reviews can reduce magazine bias---the premise is the magazine can’t be written by any of the reviewers, otherwise it will lose the point of reviewing.

你看这一句：we did not publish it until we had also obtained a second review that took a strongly liberal position.

就是说我们要等到第二本强烈支持liberal的书出来我们才出第一本

然后C说：是否第一本出来的书明显的支持了liberal

若回答是，liberal

若回答否，conservative

我解释的很混乱

你把题目好好看看
