"Surprising" Phenomenon
Judicial decisions are rarely of high literary quality, yet it's more likely for dissenting opinions to be of high literary quality.
Objective
The right answer will be a hypothesis that explains why dissenting opinions are written in a different way than are judicial decisions.
High literary quality can lead to misinterpretations, so it makes sense why judicial decisions aren’t written that way. We need to know why dissenters sometimes write opinions of high literary quality despite the chance their words are misinterpreted. The explanation must therefore result in the chance of misinterpretation not mattering to those who write dissenting opinions.

Which one of the following, ██ █████ ████ █████ ██ ███████ ███ ████████ ███████████ ██ ███ ██████████ ██████
a
It is not ████████ ███ ████ ████ ███ █████ ██ ████ ██ █████████ ██ ███ ███ █ ██████████ ███████ ██ ████████
Are pieces of writing influenced by multiple people more likely to be of high literary quality? Are dissenting opinions more likely to be influenced by multiple people compared to judicial decisions? This doesn’t tell us.
b
Unlike literary works, █████ ████████ ████ ███████ ██ ███ ███ ██ █████████ ████████████
This doesn’t resolve the discrepancy between judicial decisions and dissenting opinions. We need to know why the latter are more frequently of high literary quality.
c
The law is ███ ██ ███ █████ ██████ ██████████ ██ ██████████ █████████
Since the law isn’t determined by dissenting opinions, authors of such opinions aren’t concerned about misinterpretation. They’re free to write however they like, which sometimes leads to high literary quality.
d
Judges spend much ████ ████ ███████ ████████ █████████ ████ ███████ █████ ██ ████ ████████ ████████
This doesn’t explain why dissenting opinions are sometimes of high literary quality. We still don't know what's different about the writing style of dissenting opinions verses judicial decisions to influence their literary quality..
e
Judicial decisions issued ██ ██████ ██ ██████ ███ ██████ ██ ██ ████ ██████ ████ ████ ███ ████████ █████████ ██████ ██ █ ██████ █████ ███ █████ █ ████ ██████
This tells us nothing about dissenting opinions, nor about the writing style that judges use. We need to know why dissenting judges are more likely to write in a literary style.
