Don't really agree with the first part of the analysis for why A is wrong. If you look at the end of passage 2, "*two* recent court cases .... illustrate the problem [of the definition of tradition]". Clearly both the court cases are cited as challenges to the definition by themselves, regardless of the outcome of the first one. Just because the court decided to uphold the definition doesn't mean that the first case wasn't a valid challenge. In fact we have no reason to suspect there's any difference between the two cases that would make one a valid challenge and the other one not so, other than the outcome, which could just be evidence of the court finally coming to their senses.
Still though B is not general enough to summarize the passage like you said.
if you were annoyed by B and still don't get why it's wrong, it might be because the answer hinges on the word "decisions". Its true that both of the court cases challenged the FWS regulation, but only one of them resulted in a decision that challenged the legal application of tradition
In the "Let's Review" section, shouldn't it be "Captures the perspective advanced by the author (or the perspective the author focuses on, if she doesn’t make HER opinion known)," since "she" was used earlier?

B threw me off
For MP questions, is there any possibility that the correct AC be stated in a more broad term rather than being very specific?

@ilex It's NOT true that both court cases challenged. The first case upheld the problem. It took the later case to correct the first.
