11. Should a Journalist's story begin with the set phrase "In a surprise development" as routinely happens? Well, not if the surprise was merely the journalist' s, since journalists should not intrude themselves into their stories, and not if the surprise was someone else's, because if some person's surprise was worth mentioning at all, it should have been specifically attributed. The one possibility remaining is that lots of people were surprised: in that case, however, there is no point in belaboring the obvious.
Which one of the following most accurately states the conclusion of the argument above?
(A) Journalists should reserve use of the phrase "In a surprise development" for major developments that are truly unexpected.
(B) The phrase "in a surprise development" is appropriately used only where someone's being surprised is itself interesting.
(C) The phase "in a surprise development" is used in three distinct sorts of circumstances.
(D) Journalists should make the point that a development comes as a surprise when summing up, not when introducing a story.
(E) Introducing stories with the phrase "in a surprise development" is not good journalistic practice.

I think E is the best if you read the paragraph carefully. Ask yourself what's the author's purpose? "NOT IF", right? The phrase "surprise" should not be used under the three circumstances which are actually all the circumstances an journalist can encounter. So, E.
