Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the network’s position?
(A) The other major network news organizations reported similar reductions in viewership during the same week.
(B) The viewers who registered complaints with the network were regular viewers of the news organization’s programs.
(C) Major network news organizations publicly attribute drop in viewership to their own reports only when they receive complaints about those reports.
(D) This was not the first time that this network news organization has aired a controversial report on the economy that has inspired viewers to complain to the network.
(E) Most network news viewers rely on network news broadcasts as their primary source of information regarding the economy.
the answer is A .
在下选的是B 理由很简单,因为是regular viewer 才可能继续看,从而说明loss of viewers 不是由于负面行为造成的,这不是加强么?而后面答案给出的解释很诡异
if anything, this statement tend to undermine the network's claim, because it suggests that the report offended people who otherwise might have continued to watch the organization's programming 这个整句话的意思不是加强么,那不是就应该选B 么起码A 与B 都可以啊?跪求指教

相关因果
前提:对抱怨的消极反应,观众减少
结论:这种消极反应导致了观众的减少
问削弱
相关因果。四个CQ.涉及XY的都留下,只涉及Y的一定要能解释Y。
A 只涉及Y并且解释了Y。涉及了“观众减少”,全行业都是这样,又不是我一个。这是个整体趋势,不是个别趋势。我觉得这个选项后面暗示了有他因导致这个行业观众减少,但是没说出来。
B 抱怨的都是铁杆观众。 我不太理解你的意思。抱怨的都是铁杆观众,所以呢?这些人抱怨完了以后是 看 还是不看这个节目了?
如果因为铁杆,收到消极反应了,还是继续看的话,那么观众就没有减少啊
如果因为铁杆,收到消极反应了,就不看了。那就是因为消极反应 所以不看了啊,这个加强了结论中的 这两者的因果联系。题目中找削弱。
(A) The other major network news organizations reported similar reductions in viewership during the same week. >> so the reduction is not because of the controvercial report. everbody faced that. This supports the network's position.
(B) The viewers who registered complaints with the network were regular viewers of the news organization's programs. >>> weaken
(C) Major network news organizations publicly attribute drops in viewership to their own reports only when they receive complaints about those reports. >> weakens the conclusion.
(D) This was not the first time that this network news organization has aired a controversial report on the economy that has inspired viewers to complain to the network. >> but did they loose viewers in past when this happenend? not sure. So this doesn't support the position.
(E) Most network news viewers rely on network news broadcasts as their primary source of information regarding the economy. >>> Out of scope
