(A) were from a variety of backgrounds and hence had a variety of opinions about vacationing
(B) had attitudes toward Florida that were more easily predicted than were their opinions on other places for vacationing
(C) would tend to express favorable opinions when they thought such responses would please the sponsor of the research
(D) would speak honestly about places for vacationing only during direct questioning
