Reading the passage
I'd describe the broad purpose as evaluating the consequences of prepaid legal plans. Are these arrangements actually good for clients and lawyers? Our main-point prediction tells us which direction that evaluation takes: the writer doubts their longer-term benefits.
Working the answers
- A
The focus isn't a comparison of two payment systems. The writer explains these plans and evaluates their likely effects, rather than developing a full account of traditional payment alongside them.
- B
Popularity helps introduce the subject. Explaining why the plans are popular doesn't capture the later argument about unsatisfactory results.
- C
Lower fees matter, but they are part of the reasoning. The evaluation also concerns expertise, time devoted to cases, and client satisfaction. Following prices alone is too narrow to describe the overall purpose.
- DCorrect
Caution sharpens our initial prediction of evaluation. The writer warns that the plans may harm the profession and clients: fees fall, complex cases receive less time, and quality suffers. This captures the direction of the argument, not just its topic.
- E
Criticizing a plan isn't the same as recommending changes to it. No proposed reform is developed here.
