Reading the passage
We want the same two positions in the same order: first, a criticism of a practice; second, a defense of how that practice helps. Both titles also need to be about the practice itself. A negative word followed by a positive word is a start, but we still have to check what those words describe.
Working the answers
- A
The first title fits A's critical stance. “The Pros and Cons,” however, promises a balanced discussion rather than B's defense. B acknowledges a possible problem, but its overall purpose is to argue that nullification is useful.
- B
“Three Central Issues in the Debate” does not take the negative position we need first. A does more than identify issues: it argues that this power creates serious problems.
- CCorrect
“Inherent Dangers” matches A's criticism, and “Can Assist the Law” matches B's defense of a useful legal function. The order and the subject of each judgment both fit.
- D
This is tempting because “troublesome” is negative and “laudable” is positive. But the titles concern a practice's history and the motives behind it. A and B assess the power itself and its effects; B does not merely praise the intentions of people who favor it.
- E
Saying that televised proceedings are inevitable does not defend them as useful. Something could be unavoidable and still be harmful. B makes a positive case for nullification, not a prediction that it cannot be stopped.
