Magazine Publisher: Our magazine does not have a liberal bias. It is true that when a book review we had commissioned last year turned out to express distinctly conservative views, we did not publish it until we had also obtained a second review that took a strongly liberal position. Clearly, however, our actions demonstrate not a bias in favor of liberal views but rather a commitment to a balanced presentation of diverse opinions.
Determining which of the following would be most useful in evaluating the cogency of the magazine publisher's response?
Whether any other magazines in which the book was reviewed carried more than one review of the book
Whether the magazine publishes unsolicited book reviews as well as those that it has commissioned
Whether in the event that a first review commissioned by the magazine takes a clearly liberal position the magazine would make any efforts to obtain further reviews
Whether the book that was the subject of the two reviews was itself written from a clearly conservative or a clearly liberal point of view
Whether most of the readers of the magazine regularly read the book reviews that the magazine publishes
情景：我们的杂志是没有偏见的。当杂志收到一个明显的很强的保守文章的观点时，杂志不会发出去，而是会寻找一个自由派的观点。但是，我们的这个行为表明的不是我们赞成自由派的观点，而是要寻求一个平衡。
推理：
前提：收到一个明显的很强的保守文章的观点时，杂志不会发出去，而是会寻找一个自由派的观点
结论：杂志有一个寻求平衡的想法
答案预估：
要么给出产生“收到一个明显的很强的保守文章的观点时，杂志不会发出去，而是会寻找一个自由派的观点”的另外一个原因，要么讨论“杂志有一个寻求平衡的想法”与“收到一个明显的很强的保守文章的观点时，杂志不会发出去，而是会寻找一个自由派的观点”之间的关系。
选项分析：
A选项：其它的杂志会不会也有不止一种观点？本题讨论的内容和其他杂志没有关系。
B选项：该杂志会不会也发一些未被要求的投稿而不仅仅是邀请的投稿？无论杂志是否发送未被邀请的投稿，都没有提及投稿者的观点，所以不能评估此推理。
C选项：Correct. 当第一次就收到一个自由派的观点的时候，该杂志会不会努力去找一个传统派的观点作为平衡？如果杂志不会去找一个传统派的观点，就表示杂志其实是因为偏向自由派而非为了平衡而去做前提中提到的事情的，所以本选项切断了推理文段中因和果的联系，属于CQ2：因果联系问题。
D选项：书籍本身是否自身就有明显的传统派或者自由派观点？无论书籍本身什么观点，都不会影响杂志发布书评的模式，所以本选项不能评估推理。
E选项：大部分的读者是不是会经常去看杂志中的书评？读者看与不看和杂志发与不发是两码事，所以本选项没有提及推理文段中的因和果。
