There are no comments on this one so I thought I'd give it a crack.

I picked (C) It summarizes the problems discussed in the previous two paragraphs.
After going back and looking at the previous two paragraphs, I can clearly see that I was wrong. The first of the previous two paragraphs has nothing to do with the content of the final paragraph.

This leaves answer choice (A) It attempts to explain a phenomenon discussed in the previous paragraph.

Hi CargoStud!

You are correct. The main point of that final paragraph is encapsulated in that first sentence: "A common psychological phenomenon may account for jurors' superficial examination of confession evidence." The function of that last paragraph is to explain why jurors examine confession evidence superficially, as they were described doing in the previous paragraph (as described in answer choice (A)). It does not summarize the previous 2 paragraphs (as is described by answer choice (C)).

Hope this helps!

Best,
Kelsey
