Are you still reading the other newspaper in town? Did you know that the Daily Bugle is owned by an out-of-town business syndicate that couldn’t care less about the people of Gotham City? Read the Daily Clarion, the only real voice of the people of Gotham City!
Which of the following most directly refutes the argument raised in the advertisement above?
(A) Over half of the advertising revenues of the Daily Clarion come from firms whose headquarters are located outside of Gotham City.
(B) The Daily Clarion usually devotes more of its pages to out-of-town news than does the Daily Bugle.
(C) Nearly 40 percent of the readers of the Daily Clarion reside outside the limits of Gotham City.
(D) The editor-in-chief and all the other members of the editorial staff of the Daily Bugle have lived and worked in Gotham City for ten years or more.
(E) The Daily Bugle has been published in Gotham City for a longer time than has the Daily Clarion.
Please share your idea and your reasoning :D

See the explanation here https://www.beatthegmat.com/1000-cr-q-i- ... 13086.html

It is better to search the forum before you post question because almost all the problems in 1000 RC have been treated.

Hope this helps

I think the correct answer is D....as you can see it counter refutes the argument by saying that most of the people working for Daily Bugle are from the city itself....so it does't matter if the onwer is not from Gotham City as the news would be reported and edited by editors and staff and they have been in the city for 10 years.

Hope this helps.... :)
