Вооружившись вчерашней мощной методикой, предлагаю посмотреть следующий абзац того же замечательного текста и вопросы к нему.
Эта задачка заметно проще и техничнее предыдущей.
Текст:
The stars of the last decade have looked quite different. Soft-focus photography has gone, to be replaced by a style which searches out warts and bumps, emphasises the uniqueness not the generality of the face. Voices, too, are strenuously idiosyncratic; whines, stammers and low rumbles are exploited as features of 'star quality'. Instead of romantic heroes and heroines, we have a brutalist, hard-edged style in which isolation and egotism are assumed as natural social conditions.
Вопрос:
What does the writer suggest about the stars of the last decade?
Варианты ответов:
A Some of them may be uncomfortable about the way they come across.
B They make an effort to speak in a way that may not be pleasant on the ear.
C They make people wonder whether they should become more selfish.
D Most people accept that they are not typical of society as a whole.

-"Voices, too, are strenuously idiosyncratic; whines, stammers and low rumbles are exploited as features of 'star quality'" это к "B"
-" hard-edged style in which isolation and egotism are assumed as natural social conditions" это к "C"
-"style which searches out warts and bumps, emphasises the uniqueness not the generality of the face" - это к "D".
-Ну и в целом не сильно приятное впечатление от описания звёзд - это к "A".
Так а правильно-то как? Как я понял из предыдущего поста "suggest" подразумевает необходимость разбираться в клиническом диагнозе автора, и копаться в его шизах, не правда ли?
