Reading the passage
We've already predicted the main point: alternative personal narratives could help people excluded by traditional legal discourse get heard. The writer identifies a harm associated with objectivism, then develops a proposed remedy.
What we’re looking for
Keep both parts. We aren't just criticizing an assumption; we're explaining what these scholars want to do instead.
Working the answers
- A
This would train excluded people to use the insiders' existing forms of discourse. The proposed remedy instead changes the forms the legal system will hear. A has the right goal—empowerment—but the wrong method.
- B
The criticism concerns objectivist assumptions and the exclusion they support. It isn't an attack on the adversarial atmosphere of legal proceedings.
- CCorrect
This connects the diagnosed harm to the proposed replacement: alternative legal narratives. It captures the move from the critique of traditional discourse to personal stories that could create empathy and widen participation.
- D
Better reflecting objectivist principles is the opposite direction. The scholars propose an alternative to that discourse, not a new language that more faithfully expresses its principles.
- E
Recognizing the problem isn't the full remedy. The writer goes on to explain what personal narratives could contribute. E leaves out that proposal and treats acknowledging the lack of a neutral description as sufficient to fix the problem.
