Modern renditions of classic novels such as Ulysses can sometimes not be appropriate for reading by children or young adults because of the amount of inappropriate content that is added to these novels by the publishers. However, ABC publishers do not add any inappropriate content to their novels. Therefore, parents who want their children to enjoy literary classics. yet at the same time wish to keep their children away from inappropriate content, can buy them books published by ABC publishers.

Which of the following most strengthens the above argument?

(A) Apart from inappropriate content, ABC publishers do not add anything else to their books that might make these books unsuitable for reading by children.

(B) ABC Publishers is one of the most reputed publishing houses in the country known for its strong ethical and moral code.

(C) Some inappropriate content might not be as bad for children as some other.

(D) The literary classics published by ABC publishers do not by themselves contain any inappropriate content that parents do not wish to expose their children to.

(E) Children are not exposed to inappropriate content from other sources apart from books.


Official Explanation



Answer: D

The entire logic of the argument hinges on the fact that ABC Publishers do not add anything inappropriate to their renditions of literary classics. However, what if these books themselves contain some inappropriate content (which was written by their original authors)? Then these books still might not be suitable for reading by children. The argument assumes that this will not be the case. Thus, D is the correct answer.

(A) The scope of the argument is limited to inappropriate content. Any other kind of change or addition to the books is not our concern.

(B) The reputation of ABC Publishers has no bearing on the argument.

(C) The idea is to keep children away from inappropriate content altogether, whatever be the degree of its inappropriateness.

(E) Our scope is again limited to books. Other sources of inappropriate content are outside the scope of the argument.
