Okay so the phrasing of this question threw me off. When I read least partly, I had interpreted the question as "least likely to be based on". When I saw that I had gotten the question wrong by an obviously correct answer according to my original interpretation I had realized the phrasing of the question. Why do they make the question stem so confusing????????
Anyone else Choose D :( I eliminated E because it said RESEARCH and literally it said "NO EMPIRICAL RESEARCH " IN THE SECOND PASSAGE ...... UGHHHHH AND I DID NOT CONSIDER PSYCHOLOGICAL RESEARCH !!! THAT IS WHY I CHOOSE "D" WHICH SAYS CONTROLLED STUDIES BUT NOW I SEE IT IS WRONG BECAUSE WE HAD NO CONTROLLED STUDIES AND THAT IS WHY "D" IS WRONG -------- Note: What is a controlled Study ? when you test one thing while keeping everything else the same to see if it really makes a difference. ( THIS WAS NOT IN OUR PASSAGE)
Man i suck at single position. I have missed every single one so far by a 50/50 between two choices. But nearly aced all the debate/multi-perspective ones. Besides main point, what else can someone predict to be asked on based on the single position passage before they get into the questions? Maybe ill get an 7sage tutor
so for me a,b,c were a no brainer to cross off. E and D was tough for me. I chose B because I think I didn't fully understand what the second part, I also read it wrong. Note to self, if you're not feeling comfortable take a much closer look word for word.
I am confused. So originally I chose answer choice E but after the blind review, I chose answer choice C. To me, it seems like both of are drawing on assumptions/ inferences (not sure what the correct terminology is)
For example, for answer choice E, I do not see how, "research that was not directly concerned with legal proceedings" relates to psychological research. It seems like a stretch.
While in answer choice C, "records of judges' decisions in court cases" makes the same leap but in my view, it makes more sense than answer choice E. This is because if the decisions at the end of the case were unfavorable then the research wouldn't matter anyway thus making it irrelevant.
Answer choice C is not correct because the passage explicitly states that no empirical research has been studied from actual trials. Answer choice C states that records from judges' decisions were used, which would fall under the category of research from actual trials.
Answer choice E is correct because we do not know if the psychological research was directly concerned with legal proceedings. The passage never gives the reason the psychological research was done, and thus it is not a stretch to assume it was not done for the purpose of legal proceedings. In fact, it is unlikely that these studies were conducted using legal proceedings, as they conclude things about people generally, not just in the courtroom.

Can anyone provide more clarity?
Answer choice C is not correct because the passage explicitly states that no empirical research has been studied from actual trials. Answer choice C states that records from judges' decisions were used, which would fall under the category of research from actual trials.
Answer choice E is correct because we do not know if the psychological research was directly concerned with legal proceedings. The passage never gives the reason the psychological research was done, and thus it is not a stretch to assume it was not done for the purpose of legal proceedings. In fact, it is unlikely that these studies were conducted using legal proceedings, as they conclude things about people generally, not just in the courtroom.
