Critical Reasoning (CR) | Re: Editorialist: News media rarely cover local politics thoroughly

In the passage, the editorialist makes an argument about how the worldis , but never discusses how the world shouldbe. Maybe he/she thinks that discouraging residents from participation is appalling -- but maybe not. Perhaps he/she is an evil mastermind attempting to take over the local government, in which case secrecy and lack of resident participation is great!

Take another look at(B):

This answer choice makes a statement about how the world shouldbe . As discussed above, we simply do not have information to support this claim -- the passage tells us how the worldis (according to the author), not how he/she believes itought to be. This answer choice is not supported by the passage, so you can eliminate (B).

I hope thathelps!
