hi guys,
can you guys help explaining to me as to what the difference is between answer choice (d) and (e)?
(d) says "some" and (e) says "many" but if I remember correctly, those two words are used interchangeably.
So I am confused as to why answer is (d) and not (e).
Thanks a bunch!

Strictly speaking, "some" and "many" are not interchangeable. "Some" includes everything other than 0, while "many" by definition designates a substantial number. What "substantial" means is context dependent, but it's... substantial. Twenty or one hundred, for example.
As you probably figured out, the fourth sentence says C -> L. A hypothetical society could have only a small number of crimes (e.g. "the only crimes in this land will be murder, theft, and assault"). It also doesn't have to have many laws; one or two regulations could designate an array of crimes (e.g. "the following acts will be punishable by the laws of the land: (1)... (2)... (3)... (10)... (30)..."). So "many" doesn't have to be true, but "some" definitely has to be. That's why (D) is the correct answer.
