Hi @Samantha-Alexis,

Thanks for the question! Take a look at lines 25-27, where Posner argues that legal questions are seldom at issue in literature. This is direct support for (A), which states that the use of law in literature is different than actual law in legal practice. (D), on the other hand, is incorrect because we aren’t told about how legal interpretations of literature ignore other important elements in literature. Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions you might have.
