The local education authorities in England have recently issued a "prescribed" list of books that are approved for reading in schools by children aged between 5 and 11.
A furor has arisen among many parents because an author by the name of Enid Blyton, very popular with children, has been omitted from the said list. When asked to comment on the omission, the head of the committee that was responsible for preparing the list of books said that the books of Ms. Blyton have been omitted because "we thought they are of inferior quality and do not sufficiently stimulate the children's intellectual ability and not because they contain characters that are stereotypes or may show racial prejudice."
Which one of the following statements can be inferred from the above paragraph?
A) Children are very angry that they will not be reading Enid Blyton in school once this decision is implemented.
B) The parents' view is that Mrs. Blyton's books have been left off the list because some of her characters were racist.
C) If the parents had been consulted, Enid Blyton's books would have been prescribed.
D) The head of the deciding committee implied that Mrs. Blyton was not the only author whose books were banned.
E) Mrs. Blyton was popular with children and parents because she included stereotype (sic) characters in her books.
