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?

没有思路，E可以吗？

I agree with you. I choose E

bon

I think this sentence  focuses on whether the businessman will run or not.  So we should evaluate whether the information given (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.)and the right choice following will show the answer.If he had been a candidate before,he would never  talk about running for governor.Other choices are irrelevent to the answer.

but the referent key is B? Nevertheless, I prefer E.

Further comments appreciated....

C 好象还是有一点怪怪的

去反问消息来源的出处.....

还是请NN多多讨论啰

我以为是E 如果他之前已经很多次都放话要竞选 但是又都没有实现 表示此人只会放风声说大话 参选可信度不高

I agree that E is better.

选B, 评价类题的答案需要可以正反向回答，分别对原文造成支持和削弱。

I think B will be correct if the question says that he did not submit the list.

I prefer E in this case.

I stick to B, because the focus of argument is whether the fufilled action of B represents that he will be candidate for governor this year.. The passage asserts clear that  he has often talked about running for governor, but he has never run.so choice E is inconsist with the fact of the argument, thus, E is incorrect answer.

I chose E

B的回答是无关的！回答YES，不能说他递交就是为了选举，可能是因为别的事情，是充分条件与必要条件之间的关系。

但E的回答却可以对文章进行直接的加强或者削弱。

个人意见！
