Q12

[jardinsouslapluie5]

I understand why (D) is correct.
But, I cannot completely get rid of (C).
Is it because "summarizes most?"
Could you explain, please?

Thank you.

The question asks for what the author of passage B would expect from a legal document written by a lawyer. The author of passage B summarizes his/her expectations from legal writing between lines 34-51. Answer choice (D) expresses the view that legal writing leaves out the human dimension of a case (lines 48-51).

Incorrect Answers

(A) starts off well, but eventually contradicts the passage. The passage suggests in lines 32-34 that lawyers are given explicit advice on how they should write.
(B) contradicts the passage, since fiction associates with narrative, which is exactly what legal writing lacks.
(C) contradicts the passage that suggest that lawyers too often "write badly." (lines 41-42)
(E) contradicts the passage which suggest that legal writing is ruled by linear logic, etc (lines 34-36)

from paragraph 2 of passage B, especially the line "they too often write badly", we know that the author of passage B is not so satisfied with lawyer’s legal writing quality. So "concise, well crafted" in answer choice C is not consistent with the author’s standpoint.
