求助一道逻辑题~~GWD7-Q41~~

GWD7-Q41:

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

我看不懂文中讲什么啊~~~  有谁能帮我翻译一下吗？

杂志出版商：我们的杂志不含自由主义偏见。尽管我们去年制作的一本书评表达了明确的保守主义观点，直到我们获得了强烈自由主义立场的评论后才准予出版。很明显，我们的行为表明我们非但对自由主义观点没有偏见，还致力于平衡不同观点。

答案是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

highlight部分 请问是什么意思？？是说他们第一次检查的时候，明明没有问题了，但是还非得检查第二次？

刚好我也在看这个题目，虽然时间有点长了，但我还是发表一下我的观点：


HIGHLIGHT部分的的意思是“第一篇评论（a fitst review）", 后面的commissioned by the magazine是做定语修饰它的。所以C的整个意思是：


如果当时杂志社被委托的（commission的翻译我不是很确定）第一篇评论具有一个明确的自由主意立场，那么杂志社是否还会去努力获得其他的评论呢？


在2楼的翻译上修改了一下，我认为题目意思应该是：


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.
MP: 我们的杂志没有自由主义偏爱。去年，当发现一篇关于一本书的评论具有鲜明的保守主义观点时，我们确实没有发表它，直到我们又获得另一篇具有强烈自由主义观点的评论（言下之意应该是两篇一起发表了，或者只发表了自由主义的）。但是，这个行为不是说明我们对自由主义有偏好，而是说明我们对于平衡不同观点的一个委任。

这里的liberal bias 指的是对自由主义有偏见？还是对自由主义的偏袒？~

考古找到这里，顺手搬运Ron大神的解释：
the biggest weapon you have in problems like this is the ability to simplify the argument.

in this case, here's a simplified version:
they got a conservative review, but then waited until they got a liberal review.
they say they were just being balanced.
they say that they DON'T have a bias in favor of liberal views.

we need to pick an answer choice that will DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THESE TWO POSSIBILITIES.

i.e., MAGAZINE IS LIBERAL vs. MAGAZINE IS BALANCED.

the only one of the situations described that would affect this judgment is (c).
if the magazine were liberal, then they would NOT obtain further reviews.
if the magazine were balanced, then they WOULD obtain further reviews.

the other four situations would be unaffected by whether the magazine is balanced or liberal.
很明显是偏爱自由主义~
