Question Type
Main point
The main point of this Problem-Analysis passage is to raise the problem of potential misuse of CG displays and to recommend that guardrails be put in place to make sure they're used properly.
This is a good paraphrase of both the problem raised (how to prevent misuse of CG displays) and the author’s solution (those involved, namely lawyers and judges, need to take certain recommended steps).

The use of ██████████████████ ████████ ███ █████ ████████████ ██ ██████ █████ ███████ ████████ ████ █████ ██████████ ██ ██████ ███████ ███████████ ████ ████████
Descriptively accurate but not the main point. This is just context. The author goes on to explain why we should care about this growth in CG displays: because there’s the potential to misuse them. He then suggests a solution: put in guardrails for how lawyers and judges handle them. And when the author of a Problem-Analysis passage recommends a solution, that solution is the main point.
The author does recommend rules to govern the use of CG displays, but he doesn’t suggest that any of those rules involve “the most sophisticated principles of jurisprudence.”
The author does note in P1 that CG displays can help with jury comprehension alongside several other advantages. But that’s just context for why we should care about CG displays. The author doesn’t spend the passage trying to convince us of what will happen. Rather, he argues for what should happen, and why: legal professionals should take certain precautions with CG displays because of the potential for misuse. (Also, the author doesn’t suggest that heightened jury comprehension has the effect of fairer trials.)
Too strong and too narrow. The author doesn’t tell us that any and all disadvantages can be eliminated, and he doesn’t limit his recommendations to only avoiding intentional misuse. He notes that CG displays can also be subject to unintentional misuse, and his recommendations are designed to avoid misuse in general.
