Why is the answer E?
Im hoping you can better explain why the answer is E, im having trouble finding where it ever says or implies the statement of answer E in the passage.

I'm having a bit of a tech issue with how the passage is showing up on my screen so I cannot point you to the exact line reference, but I will reproduce the direct quote for you here in my explanation.
Through this passage, the author disagrees with legal theorists who maintain that corporations should be held civilly liable rather than criminally liable for wrongdoing.
The author provides a number of reasons for this, one of which is that "private civil litigation requires an identifiable victim with the necessary resources to commence litigation." The author highlights that the fact that civil litigation requires this, "weakens its deterrent impact."
This suggests that many cases of corporate wrongdoing do not result in harm to identifiable victims with the necessary resources to commence litigation. If this were not true, then this would not be an effective argument against civil litigation for corporate wrongdoing. This is restated by answer choice (E), making it our correct answer.
Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any further questions.
