Complete Question Explanation
Must Be True. The correct answer choice is (E)
Answer choice (A): Candidate preference is irrelevant. The author argues that press coverage of substantive policy issues is necessary so that the voters be informed.
Answer choice (B): The author argues that the press should stay out of the limelight, but does not speculate as to their motivation, so we cant infer anything about whether they like the attention.
Answer choice (C): While the author compares the reporting of political campaigns to that of a chess game, we know nothing of the candidates’ perspectives on this analogy.
Answer choice (D): We cannot properly draw this inference. While the stimulus criticizes the press for reporting on process rather than issues, the author does not specify as to the motivation behind the decisions of the press.
Answer choice (E): This is the correct answer choice. The author argues that the voters are being deprived of necessary information by coverage of the press. Thus, according to the stimulus current reporting must not be providing the public with information necessary to informed decision making.
