The correct answer, (B), combines two parts of the passage. First, we know from lines 9-12 that objectivism “has supported most Western legal and intellectual systems for centuries.” Second, we know from the entire second paragraph that objectivism privileges the stories told by people who are trained in legal discourse and rejects the stories told by people without such training. Having the law recognizing your stories as true will give you at least power. So, from these statements, we can infer that expertise in legal discourse affords power in most Western societies (those that support objectivist principles).
