I chose B, can you tell me why A is the correct choice?

Morehouse,

The author introduces the Shelly decision and then spends the rest of the passage criticizing that decision. The author concludes by calling the Shelly decision "noxious" and a failure. That is strong support for answer choice (A).

Answer choice (B) focuses on a detail in the discussion of why the Shelly decision was wrong. The right answer to a primary purpose question will not focus on a detail point; it will encapsulate the entire discussion.
