Reading the passage
The distinction is the amount and purpose of the detail. Medical students need an extensive anatomical picture; the people deciding a lawsuit need the details relevant to that case.
Working the answers
- A
Nothing says textbook images misrepresent anatomy. A detailed image can be accurate and still contain information that a jury doesn't need.
- B
Custom illustrators sometimes avoid color; they aren't required to avoid it altogether. We also aren't told that textbook illustrations freely use color.
- C
The author says custom illustrators strive for objective accuracy. This objective-versus-subjective division misstates the defense of their work.
- DCorrect
The third paragraph contrasts the detailed anatomical information medical students need (paragraph 3) with information relevant to deciding a case. The fracture example shows why a custom image might omit veins and arteries.
- E
This runs against the author's explanation. Extra textbook detail can confuse nonspecialists, while a custom illustration can help them understand the relevant injury.
