RC Question 6 Explanation

QUESTION TEXT: Which one of the following most accurately expresses …

DISCUSSION: The main point is that bankruptcy laws have shifted from punishment to recovery, and this is a good thing.

___________

1. CORRECT. See above. If you’re wondering how we justify “should not be abandoned”, re-read the middle of paragraph 1.
2. The beginning of paragraph 3 tells us the big reason behind this shift is the public good, not the needs of creditors.
3. This contradicts the entire passage.
4. This also contradicts the passage.
5. This is justified by the end of paragraph 1, but not necessarily the main point.
