Hi @Lucas,

Thanks for the question! Unfortunately, the answer to this one was (D), but good that you narrowed it down to (A) and (D). Let’s take a look at why. Here, the question is asking us to find the method the author does not use to present this discussion (keep track of the “except”!). Does the author use comparison in contrast, as (A) states? Yes, the author does, since the author is comparing the US and English legal systems throughout, and also compares and contrasts substantive reasons and formal reasons. Does the author use (D), a chronology of historical developments? No. We aren’t told anything about the historical developments of either, and so (D) is incorrect. Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions you might have.
