Question Type
Main point
We’re looking for an answer that provides the best titles for each passage. Let’s think about the main point of each passage. Passage A’s point is that our legal systems shouldn’t try achieve cosmic justice. Passage B’s point is that cosmic justice is different from traditional conceptions of justice.
a
"Cosmic Justice Meets █████ ████████████
█████████ ██ ███████ ██████ ██████ █████████
This best captures the overall point of each passage. Passage A argues that we shouldn’t try to achieve cosmic justice, because we can’t figure out all the relevant variables that go into it. Passage B focuses on the difference between cosmic justice and the traditional conception of justice, which is based on fairness.
b
"Sowell's Theory of ████████
████ ███ ██ ███████████
Passage A’s title doesn’t fit, because it doesn’t capture the author’s advocacy against trying to achieve cosmic justice. In addition, Passage B’s title also doesn’t fit, because Passage B isn’t focused on identifying the key to deterrence. It does discuss how cosmic justice would influence deterrence, but that’s not the overall point.
c
"Just Deserts"
"Fair ███ ██████ ██████████████
Passage A’s title doesn’t fit, because it doesn’t capture the author’s advocacy against trying to achieve cosmic justice. In addition, Passage B’s title also doesn’t fit, because Passage B isn’t focused on identifying or comparing disadvantages that are fair or unfair.
d
"A Critique of ███████
████████████ ███████ ████ ██████
Passage A’s title doesn’t fit, because it’s not clear the author critiques Sowell. She critiques a particular concept that Sowell uses, but that doesn’t imply Sowell advocates that the legal system should use that concept.
e
"The Impossibility of █████████ ██████ ████████
█████ ██████ ██████ ███████ ██ █████████ ████████
Passage B’s title doesn’t fit, because Passage B doesn’t place fair trials and justice in opposition to each other. The passage focuses on the difference between cosmic justice and traditional conceptions of justice.
