Which one of the following statements about legal discourse in legal systems based on objectivism can be inferred from the passage?
The correct option is A Expertise in legal discourse affords power in most Western societies.
Look at the lines from the first paragraph “Objectivism holds that there is a single neutral description of each event that is unskewed by any particular point of view and that has a privileged position over all other accounts.” Legal discourse believes in objectivism and objectivism believes in the existence of neutral objective observations and observers.
So option (c) is wrong.
Look at the lines “The compelling force of personal narrative can create a sense of empathy between legal insiders and people traditionally excluded from legal discourse and, hence, from power.”
These lines indicate that a person excluded or doesn’t know legal discourse is excluded from power also.
The corollary is that a person having knowledge on legal discourse has power also.
So option (a) is correct.
Options (b) and (d) do not find any support in this passage.
