In his most recent speech, my opponent, Governor Smith, accused me of having
distorted the facts' misrepresenting his own position, suppressing information,
and
deliberately lying to the people.


Which of the following possible responses by this speaker would be LEAST
relevant to his dispute with Governor Smith?

A) Governor Smith would not have begun to smear me if he did not sense that his
own campaign was in serious trouble.
B) Governor Smith apparently misunderstood my characterization of his position,
so I will attempt to state more clearly my understanding of it.
C) At the time I made those remarks, certain key facts were not available, but
new information uncovered by my staff does support the position I took at that
time.
D) I can only wish Governor Smith had specified those points he considered to
be lies so that I could have responded to them now.
E) With regard to the allegedly distorted facts, the source of my information
is a Department of Transportation publication entitled "Safe Driving."
