Complete Question Explanation
(See the complete passage discussion here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=11615)
The correct answer choice is (D)
The answer to this question is prephrased in our VIEWSTAMP analysis: the author’s main point is that adjudication has merit, but mediation provides a better suited resolution for family disputes than court adjudication. Correct answer choice (D) restates this prephrase with greater specificity regarding the advantages of family mediation.
Answer choice (A) provides one justification for preferring mediation. Although this point is referenced at the end of the passage, it does not represent the author’s conclusion. Answer choice (B) is, for many, an attractive distracter, because it does have some of the components of our prephrase. However, since this answer choice highlights the advantages of adjudication without referencing the author’s conclusion that mediation is preferable, so it does not accurately reflect the author’s main point. Incorrect answer choices (C) and (E) are unsupported by the passage and thus surely fail to reflect the author’s main point.
