Principle: A reviewer should disclose any connection to the work under review that a reader would want to know about.

Application: The critic reviewed the book in a weekly magazine that had commissioned the piece from her, and nowhere in the review did she say that she had studied under its author. She ought to have mentioned it.

The application follows from the principle if which one of the following is assumed?

AThe weekly magazine that carried the review has no policy on disclosure, and leaves such decisions entirely to the reviewers it commissions.

BReaders of a review want to know when the person writing it was once a student of the author of the book under review.

CThe critic has had no contact with the author in the twenty years since she finished her studies, and no reader has ever objected to her reviewing a former teacher.

DThe critic's review of the book was favourable, and warmest about the chapters closest to her own field.

EMost reviewers disclose connections of this kind as a matter of course, and colleagues regard the few who stay silent as careless.
