Minister: Over the last three years, we have spent a considerable amount of time, money, and effort to clean our major cities, which had fallen into disrepute over the matter of public hygiene. These efforts clearly demonstrate our concern for cleanliness and the environment.
Press representative: That is not entirely true. All your efforts were heavily covered by the media and have helped you generate a positive image as a pro-environment government. Certainly, this move has political benefits, and you are not truly concerned about whether the underlying work is carried out effectively.
The press representative’s conclusion would be most properly drawn if it were true that
A) the minister’s efforts regarding the cleaning campaigns were not as successful as similar efforts made by another minister in another state during the same period
B) the minister consciously used the cleaning campaign as a marketing tool in the media
C) if the money spent on marketing were spent on additional cleaning efforts, it would have been more beneficial for the cities
D) the heavily media-covered cleaning campaign did not yield significant results in actually improving the cleanliness of the cities
E) the press had covered other cleaning campaigns elsewhere, which were not marketed so heavily in the media
