Reading the passage
These intellectual systems have been supported by objectivism for centuries. What does objectivism mean here? It assumes that an event has a single neutral description, free of any particular point of view. That's the connection our answer should make.
Working the answers
- ACorrect
Long assuming the possibility of a neutral depiction follows directly from that foundation. The systems have relied on objectivism, and the next sentence defines it in those terms.
- B
Assuming a neutral description exists doesn't mean the systems themselves have remained unbiased. B turns their underlying belief into a claim that they successfully meet that ideal.
- C
We aren't told their practices remain unanalyzed. The opening describes reformers examining how narrative and law interact; it doesn't establish the absence of analysis asserted here.
- D
Objectivism gives priority to the supposedly neutral account. The language of emotion and experience is described as being excluded from traditional legal discourse, not privileged.
- E
The psychologists support the criticism: observers bring expectations, values, and beliefs to what they perceive. Their work isn't offered as confirmation of objectivism's basic assumptions.
