Complete Question Explanation
(See the complete passage discussion here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=11615)
The correct answer choice is (A)
As a reference point from the stimulus, the relationship between the mediator and the family members is nicely described in the last sentence of the first paragraph: “Mediators help disputing parties arrive at a solution themselves though communication and cooperation by facilitating the process of negotiation that leads to agreement by the parties.” Correct answer choice (A) depicts the similar relationship that exists between a labor relations specialist and the workers and managers with whom the specialist works to facilitate the process of negotiation in an effort to reach agreement between the parties.
None of the other answer choices include the component of working with the parties to reach a mutually agreeable outcome: In answer choice (B), the outcome is determined solely by majority vote of the students; in (C) feedback is solicited but apparently not considered in the new system implementation. Incorrect answer choice (D)’s note-taking is nothing like the role of the mediator, and answer choice (E) has a judge meet with opposing counsel only after having rendered a decision—like other wrong answer choices above, this choice lacks the component of parties’ working together to find resolution.
