Question

Read this excerpt from a campaign speech:My opponent in this race for the governor's office claims that I am corrupt. He dares to suggest that I accepted favors from business owners in exchange for putting them in contact with state legislators who lowered business taxes. This is an absurd claim. Moreover, I find it ironic that he, of all people, wants to point fingers and talk about corruption. Isn't it interesting that he accepts so many campaign donations from the oil industry and is single-handedly responsible for sponsoring state laws that ease environmental regulations? Dear friends, remember on Election Day who the real honest politician is in this race. It's certainly not the man on the other side of the aisle trying to distract us from his own bad character.Which statement best describes the context of this speech?A.The race for governor has been heated, with both sides accusing each other of corruption.B.The state legislators are concerned about increasing corruption.C.The state legislators have placed increasingly strict regulations on the oil industry.D.The race for governor has been relatively friendly, with both sides supporting each other's policies.
