Explanation
We already know the answer to this question. The author
discusses one definition, and then a superior but not perfect alternative
definition of innovation. Which answer choices match our understanding? (A) and (E) are out, because the author does not discuss data of
any sort or clarify ambiguity (the issue with the first definition was
relevance, not ambiguity). Choices (B) and (D) are similar. Does the author
slap down the first definition harshly? Does the author push hard for the use
of the second definition? No, and no. While the author prefers the second
definition, the author's ultimate judgment is that both definitions leave
important questions unanswered and that we will not be able to refine the superior definition and apply it to
strategy and policy. The more general choice, (C), is the correct answer.
