Complete Question Explanation
(See the complete passage discussion here: viewtopic.php?f=1157&t=11219)
MBT. The correct answer is answer choice (A).
Very broadly, passage A is anti jury nullification and passage B is pro, so we can eliminate any answer choices that don't match that description. Passage A presents 3 issues with the practice, while Passage B offers evidence in support of it.
Answer (A) - This is the correct answer. Passage A is critical, while passage B is supportive.
Answer (B) - jury nullification is not a judicial custom, so this is incorrect. Also, Passage B doesn't offer improvements.
Answer (C) - Passage A doesn't offer evidence about studied behavior, and passage B has no hypothesis for this behavior, it is written independent of Passage A.
Answer (D) - Passage A might think jury nullification is a problem, but not that it is intractable, and passage B does not offer a solution.
Answer (E) - The passages are not related to each other, and Passage A does not present a question.
