Reading the passage
The objection was geographic: students might learn one region's statutes and then practice somewhere else. Would that specific knowledge be useful there? We need the objection the author considers, even though the author ultimately answers it by distinguishing knowledge from transferable skills.
Working the answers
- A
Time and resources do come up. But nobody argues that case analysis is far more important or that statutory training would divert resources from it. The stated concern is whether regional knowledge travels with the graduate.
- B
The author describes skills that existing case-focused training neglects. No redundancy objection is presented.
- C
We aren't given a claim that other methods would achieve these goals better.
- D
The concern is where graduates practice, not whether they specialize. Calling synthesis especially important for future specialists doesn't make statutory training irrelevant to everyone else.
- ECorrect
The final paragraph says regional differences make mastery of one set of statutes less generally applicable. That is the possible objection. The author concedes a limit on transferring the specific knowledge while defending the value of the skills.
