Reading the passage
Who set the recorded disciplinary cases in motion? Dissatisfied clients. So predict misconduct that gives a lawyer's own client a reason to complain. The worst-sounding act isn't necessarily the best answer; we need the one that fits this source of enforcement.
Working the answers
- ACorrect
Giving the client's secrets to the opposing party betrays that client. It fits the stated pattern: discipline apparently began with unhappy clients rather than other lawyers (paragraph 1).
- B
This bribe is intended to win a favorable ruling for the client. It's unethical, but doesn't supply the same clear reason for that client to complain.
- C
False credentials deceive the guild. No direct injury to a client is described.
- D
The rumors target an opposing lawyer. The recorded initiatives came from clients, not fellow lawyers.
- E
The lawyer is helping the client lie. That is misconduct, but it serves the client's effort rather than betraying the client. A remains the clearest match for client dissatisfaction.
