请教一题，意思没大看懂！

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

主要是一个先后问题，原文结论是自己没有自由主义偏见。证据是先收到了保守主义的，没有发表，直到也受到了自由主义的才发表，表明自己没有偏爱自由主义。其实这个reasoning明显具有逻辑漏洞，如果是先收到了自由主义的没有发表，那才说明自己不是偏爱自由主义，你先收到了保守主义的没有发表，可能就是因为你偏爱自由主义不喜欢保守主义才没有发表。所以C说看看他会不会就算先收到了自由主义的也等到有了保守主义再发表。
