Complete Question Explanation
(See the complete passage discussion here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=10859)
The correct answer choice is (C)
As prephrased in our discussion of Passage Similarities and Differences above, both authors are focused on the question of how to treat a wrongdoer—what is justified and what is required.
Answer choice (A): Although passage A is concerned, in part, with the potentially harmful effects of lying (last paragraph), passage B does not share this concern.
Answer choice (B): Neither author considers whether the same rules should apply to the evaluation of moral and criminal wrongs.
Answer choice (C): This is the correct answer choice. As prephrased above, both passages are concerned with whether it is right to repay wrongdoing with similar treatment (lines 14-18 and lines 30-32).
Answer choice (D): Only passage B deals explicitly with the distinction between a duty and a right.
Answer choice (E): The author of passage B deals with the issue of treating wrongdoers as rational beings, but this is not explored in passage A.
