PROBLEM: An upcoming documentary describes Yelp as the internet's equivalent to the mafia, and the publicly-traded company is doing everything in its power to discredit the film before it is released.

However, like many web businesses, Yelp's revenue comes mainly from advertising and the businesses that buy ads are often also rated and reviewed on the site. Kaylie Milliken is the filmmaker behind Billion Dollar Bully, an ongoing documentary focused on Yelp's impact on small businesses.Billion Dollar Bully, an upcoming documentary, focuses on the review site's impact on small businessesFilmmaker Kaylie Milliken spoke to several business owners who believe their Yelp ratings went down after they declined to advertise on the siteThe company has denied the allegations, citing court rulings, an FTC investigation and a Harvard study as validation of their business practices

PROBLEM: (CNN) Former FBI Director James Comey is expected to testify next week before the Senate intelligence committee, but President Donald Trump may try to stop him by asserting executive privilege. It would not work. Trump cannot use executive privilege to keep Comey from testifying about discussions that may point to potential misconduct, and that's especially true now that Trump has already made those discussions public. Although The New York Times reported that the President is not planning on doing so, he could change his mind, according to two senior administration officials. Executive privilege is not a well-defined legal concept. You can't find the words "executive privilege" anywhere in the Constitution. It's not written down in any federal statute, and it's not part of the rules of evidence.Executive privilege is a doctrine with no legal weight previously challenged in courtPage Pate: It's unlikely attempt to stop Comey's testimony by invoking it would work 
 Questions:There is only one reason I can think of -- _ lied. (A) FBI (B) James Comey (C) Senate (D) Donald Trump (E) Comey (F) The New York Times (G) Constitution (H) Page Pate

SOLUTION: (D)

PROBLEM: (CNN) On February 9, National Intelligence Director James Clapper testified that 6,900 Westerners have traveled to Iraq and Syria to fight for foreign terrorist organizations -- an increase since the last time the United States released an official foreign fighter count. Though the number sounds alarming, it reveals less than it may seem. The official foreign fighter count cited by Clapper can only get larger and so risks stoking public fear unnecessarily. The total number of foreign fighters who have ever gone to Syria doesn't matter nearly as much as stemming the flow and reducing the current number of fighters. Recent advances and policies may have begun doing just that.Using "foreign fighter" number totals out of context can be misleading, says David StermanMedia outlets continue to use such numbers to stoke fears about ISIS and other terrorist organizations, Sterman saysSterman: The reality is much more nuanced, and in fact the West appears to be making big gains against ISIS 
 Questions:Whatever the cumulative number, the monthly rate of fighters flowing into _ may soon drop below the death rate, which means ISIS and organizations like it would suffer a decline in manpower available to staff their quasistate, wage war in Syria and Iraq and conduct terrorist operations abroad. (A) CNN (B) National Intelligence (C) James Clapper (D) Westerners (E) Iraq (F) Syria (G) United States (H) Clapper (I) David Sterman (J) Media (K) ISIS (L) Sterman (M) West
