Very confused on what this question was asking and what I should be looking for.

From what I can understand, it's asking that where does retributive nature exist in the second rationale? And if so, B can be paraphrased around line 45-48 where it says "similarly our intuition that a punishment is just is based on our sense that this punishment fairly balances societal benefit against harm". But I don't get how this can "consist" based off the next line on 50, where the question tells you to reference, where it says "retributive nature disappears". So it technically doesn't have retributive nature.



I chose A and new I didn't know what I was doing but I was anticipating something that would have to reflect punishment by the harm/societal harm it's caused? Something like that.


Still lost on this.

Khodi,

The harm/benefit balance is part of the first rationale, not the second. Line 15 tells me about the second rationale, and you can see that this matches answer choice (B) perfectly.
