RC Question 27 Explanation

QUESTION TEXT: Which one of the following is a view advanced by the author …

DISCUSSION: I outlined the similarities in the passage analysis: they both prefer traditional justice over cosmic justice, which focuses on actions and consequences rather than background factors.

___________

1. This is the very definition of cosmic justice. Both passages argue against using cosmic justice in the legal system.
2. This is also the opposite of both passages.
3. Neither passage supports using cosmic justice in the legal system at all.
4. CORRECT. Both passages agree that law should focus on outcomes (consequences) rather than inputs (background factors).
5. B doesn’t necessarily disagree with this as it doesn’t fully address it – it would just argue that we shouldn’t do this. A disagrees with this.
