[Roadto170]

In evaluating this question I quickly narrowed down to B and D.

A- incorrect because popularity is never mentioned. Would fail Fact Test.
C- seems kind of like a shell game. The consensus mentioned pertains to the opinions of the jury.
E- clearly, the author is unbiased in this passage. Mainly just conveying Dworkin's opinion.

This passage defines legal positivism (first sentence) and adds context (second sentence). However, the rest of the passage seems to be an analysis or evaluation of legal positivism using Dworkin's perspective.

Where did I go wrong?
