Which of the following best completes the passage below?

In today’s pluralistic society, textbook publishers find themselves in an increasingly uncomfortable position. Since the schools are regarded as a repository of society’s moral and cultural values, each group within society wishes to prevent any material that offends its own values from appearing in textbooks. As a result, stance on an issue is certain to run afoul of one group or another. And since textbook publishers must rely on community goodwill to sell their books, it is inevitable that______

(A) fewer and fewer publishers will be willing to enter the financially uncertain textbook industry
(B) the ethical and moral content of textbooks will become increasingly neutral and bland
(C) more and more pressure groups will arise that seek to influence the content of textbooks
(D) the government will be forced to intervene in the increasingly rancorous debate over the content of textbooks
(E) school boards, teachers, and principals will find it nearly impossible to choose among the variety of textbooks being offered





ANS: B
為何不是C???
感覺C也跟文章很有關ㄚ~
我試著套入錯誤選項的總結裡面,可是我套不進去..... @@
就覺得C跟B都馬可以ㄚ~

C離題了，
這題從頭到尾只是關心出版商編教材的態度。

B是可以從題目的資料裡推出來的，請看最後一句：
since textbook publishers must rely on community goodwill to sell their books.

而由題目內文則不能確定C是否確實會發生。

從 goodwill 這個字我選了 (A)
買書的人憑善意付錢,書商賺錢難為也,那不是 (A) 嗎?

[dibert8]

講白一點, (B) 跟 since textbook publishers must rely on community goodwill to sell their books 有什麼關係?
如果考閱讀測驗,我會選 (B), 這題要接句子,怎麼看? (B) 不通順也!

[星動小流氓]

基於文章中的這兩個理由:
stance on an issue is certain to run afoul of one group or another.
textbook publishers must rely on community goodwill to sell their books.
所以答案B是表示比較溫和中立的態度去處理那些關於ethical and moral content, 這樣每個都不得罪
不過我一開始也是選答案C啦...
不知道這樣想可否~ 小小意見
