Posner points out that "writers of literature use the law loosely to convey a particular idea..legal questions are seldom at issue."(lies 23-27). This argument is summarized in the answer choice (A).
(D) is wrong because Posner only argues that "legal interpretation aims at discovering a single meaning" in the context of his critic that literary criticism is helpful in interpreting the law not that legal analysis is useful in interpreting literature as the question requires.
Does this make sense? Let me know if you have any other questions.

Yes if she says it is because the author says legal questions are seldom at issue.why is not b the answer

@denleybishop, B does not work because while we do not know how often law is used in literature, we do know that Posner thinks that most of the time it comes up, it is used to convey something else. We don't know if that something else is important or not, so we can toss B.
