10. Audiences find a speaker more convincing if the speaker begins a speech by arguing briefly against his or her position before providing reasons for accepting it. The reason this technique is so effective is that it makes the speaker appear fair-minded and trustworthy. Therefore, candidates for national political office who wish to be successful in winning votes should use this argumentative technique in the speeches.

Which one of the following, if true, most seriously limits the effectiveness of adopting the argument's recommendation?

(A) Political candidates typically have no control over which excerpts from their speeches will be reported by the news media.

(B) Many people do not find arguments made by politicians convincing, since the arguments are often on-sided or oversimplify the issues.

(C) People decide which political candidate to vote form more on the basis of their opinions of the candidate's character than on the exact positions of the candidate.

(D) People regard a political candidate more favorably if they think that the candidate respects an opponent's position even while disagreeing with it.

(E) Political candidates have to address audiences of many different sizes and at many different locations in the course of a political campaign.

答案是A.

1原文说：政治家演讲的时候有一种方法很有效：那就是在ARGUE自己的观点之前，先简单地评论一下自己观点的不足之处。。这种做法让选民很接受。
