Marcus: For most ethical dilemmas the journalist is likely to face, traditional journalistic ethics is clear, adequate, and essentially correct. For example, when journalists have uncovered newsworthy information, they should go to press with it as soon as possible. No delay motivated by the journalists’ personal or professional interests is permissible.

Anita: Well, Marcus, of course interesting and important information should be brought before the public-that is a journalist’s job. But in the typical case, where a journalist has some information but is in a quandary about whether it is yet important or “newsworthy,” this guidance is inadequate
In order to conclude properly from Anita’s statements that Marcus’ general claim about traditional journalistic ethics is incorrect, if would have to be assumed that

(A) whether a piece of information is or is not newsworthy can raise ethical dilemmas for journalists.

(B) there are circumstances in which it would be ethically wrong for a journalist to go to press with legitimately acquired, newsworthy information.

(C) the most serious professional dilemmas that a journalist is likely to face are not ethical dilemmas

(D) there are no ethical dilemmas that a journalist is likely to face that would not be conclusively resolved by an adequate system of journalistic ethics

(E) For a system of journalistic ethics to be adequate it must be able to provide guidance in every case in which a journalist must make a professional decision

If the public library shared by the adjacent towns of Redville and Glenwood were relocated from the library’s current, overcrowded building in central Redville to a larger, available building in central Glenwood, the library would then be within walking distance of a larger number of library users. That is because there are many more people living in central Glenwood than in central Redville, and people generally will walk to the library only if it is located close to their homes.

10 Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?

(A) The public library was located between Gienwood and Redville before being moved to its current location in central Redville.

(B) The area covered by central Glenwood is approximately the same size as that covered by central Redville.

(C) The building that is available in Glenwood is smaller than an alternative building that is available in Redville.

(D) Many of the people who use the public library do not live in either Glenwood or Redville.

(E) The distance that people currently walk to get to the library is farther than what is generally considered walking distance.
答案是：b为何？

如果是阅读问题，别人就没法帮你了。（幸好Lsat阅读普遍过难，如果以Gmat为目标就不一定过分难为自己了）

第二题推理是：g镇的人比r镇的人更多推出如果图书馆搬到g镇会有更多的用户，其中一个已知的assumption是people generally will walk to the library only if it is located close to their homes。答案b说明了g镇的人不用比r镇的人走的距离更远就能到达图书馆，使得assumption成立，所以是很好的support的答案。（如果b改成g镇的面积不比r镇更大，就变成了assumption答案，请细细体会。）
