A )A restriction that only the closest competitor can be included in the TV advertisements
>Incorrect.
Limiting the number of competitors mentioned does not stop the practice of denouncing them. Consumers would still face unfair comparisons

B )A limit on the duration for which the competitors can be mentioned in the TV advertisements
> Incorrect.
Reducing the time doesn't change the nature of the unfair practice.

C) A law that forbids the mention of any competitor in the TV advertisements
>Correct
If companies are banned from mentioning competitors at all, they cannot denounce them, directly resolving the author's objection of unfair comparisons.

D )An increase in information related to features, quality, and cost of products/services in TV advertisements
>Incorrect.
While more information is helpful, it doesn't stop the specific problem of companies attacking each other. The unfair behavior would continue alongside the extra info.

E )A limit on the number of times advertisements are shown on TV
>Incorrect.
This addresses the frequency of ads, not their content.

The correct answer is C.

ExpertsGlobal5
The most serious objection I have regarding the advertisements shown on TV is that they often denounce the products or services by their competitors to proclaim their own superiority. This is unfair. If every company follows this practice, it will be very difficult for consumers to decide which products and services are better than others. The best step towards correcting this could be ______.

Which of the following best completes the passage?

A. a restriction that only the closest competitor can be included in the TV advertisements
B. a limit on the duration for which the competitors can be mentioned in the TV advertisements
C. a law that forbids the mention of any competitor in the TV advertisements
D. an increase in information related to features, quality, and cost of products/services in TV advertisements
E. a limit on the number of times advertisements are shown on TV
