LR Question 23 Explanation
QUESTION TYPE: Principle – Strengthen
CONCLUSION: The investigators claimed that the journalists were also to blame, along with the director.
REASONING: The director admitted they lied about the charity’s finances. Yet the journalists inflated the charity’s reputation by repeating as fact the numbers the director gave them.
ANALYSIS: We need some principle that tell us journalists must do more than simply repeat facts.
Most of the wrong answers apply to the director’s actions. We’re trying to blame the journalists.
