The use of computer-generated visual displays in courtrooms is growing as awareness of their ability to recreate crime scenes spreads. ββββββββ βββββββββ ββ βββ βββββ ββββ βββββ ββββββββ ββ ββββββ ββββ βββββ ββββββ ββββββββ ββ βββββββββββββ βββββββββββ βββββ ββ βββββββ ββββββββββββ ββ βββββ ββ βββββββ βββ ββββββββββββ βββ

This is a good paraphrase of both the problem raised (how to prevent misuse of CG displays) and the authorβs solution (those involved, namely lawyers and judges, need to take certain recommended steps).

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 thereβs 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 doesnβt suggest that any of those rules involve βthe most sophisticated principles of jurisprudence.β

The author does note in P1 that CG displays can help with jury comprehension alongside several other advantages. But thatβs just context for why we should care about CG displays. The author doesnβt 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 doesnβt suggest that heightened jury comprehension has the effect of fairer trials.)

Too strong and too narrow. The author doesnβt tell us that any and all disadvantages can be eliminated, and he doesnβt limit his recommendations to only avoiding intentional misuse. He notes that CG displays can also be subject to
