I was more attracted by answers B and C, and was somewhat surprised that the correct answer ended being E. E seems to be a sneaky rephrase of the last sentence of the first paragraph: "But the goal of preventing harm to others would also justify legal sanctions against some forms of nonconforming behavior in which this goal might at first seem not to apply" (9-11). However, I was not aware that this is the main point of the passage until after seeing what the correct answer is. It just seems that B and C summarizes paragraphs 2 and 3, the main body of the passage, a lot better. Could you tell me why B and C are wrong? And how we could know that the last sentence of the first paragraph is the main point? Thank you.
