Answer 2

A. The governor chose not to make it more neutral without changing the overall meaning.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "neutral" refers to the nonaligned group or which is neither positive nor negative or neither beneficial nor harmful. This implies that the sentence that can best neutralize the effect would be not to make a statement instead of refusing to make a statement as the refusal may create or possess a threat to the governor. Thus, to neutralize the effect, he should not give an insight to the audience and not reveal his fraud as this would only save him and neutralize or deactivate the consequences.
