identify a keyword that appears in both.
Answer choice (A): Legal technicalities are not mentioned in either passage.

(lines 14 and 25) and passage B (line 56).

passage B.
Answer choice (E): While the cost and benefit of overinclusive laws is a central issue in passage A, it
is entirely absent from passage B.
