Reading the passage
This sentence contrasts mediation's lack of a guarantee about individual rights with the court system's goal of having lawyers secure those rights. It gives us a reason to favor adjudication, even though the writer will ultimately favor mediation. So I'm looking for an acknowledgment of a benefit mediation may lack.
Working the answers
- ACorrect
Protecting the rights the law promises to an individual is the court-system benefit identified here. The sentence helps explain why the writer grants some validity to the arguments for adjudication.
- B
Wrong process. The limitation described belongs to family mediation, while court adjudication is presented favorably in this comparison.
- C
A difference in protections doesn't prove that the assumptions behind the two methods cannot be reconciled. The sentence identifies an advantage; it doesn't establish that broader philosophical conflict.
- D
No combined third option is introduced. We're still comparing mediation with adjudication.
- E
Lawyers appear as part of the explanation of the court system's benefit. The sentence isn't trying to establish that rights can be protected only when lawyers are involved. That stronger necessity claim goes beyond the comparison.
