To discover what percentage of teenagers believe in telekinesis -- the psychic ability to move objects without physically touching them -- a recent survey asked a representative sample of teenagers whether they agreed with the following statement: "A person' s thoughts can influence the movement of physical objects. " But because this statement is particularly ambiguous and is amenable to a naturalistic, uncontroversial interpretation, the survey' s responses are also ambiguous. The reasoning above conforms most closely to which one of the following general propositions?
A: Every statement is amenable to several interpretations.
B: Responses people give to poorly phrased questions are likely to be ambiguous.
C: Responses to surveys are always unambiguous if the survey's questions are well phrased.
D: Uncontroversial statements are useless in surveys.
Choose A, B, C or D as your solution.
