We are told that, "some people take their moral cues from governmental codes of law."
This group of people believes that no legally permissible thing could be immoral.
We know that "no" introduces the sufficient condition and the negation of the other part of the statement is the necessary condition.
Now, let's diagram:
LP ==> M not M ==> not LP
Answer choice (A) states that the "law does not cover all circumstances in which one person morally wrongs another." However, the stimulus just told us that these people believe that if something is permitted by the government, then it is moral. Thus, if all the statements in the stimulus are taken to be true, then the people discussed in the stimulus believe that the law must cover all circumstances in which one person morally wrongs another. So answer choice (A) directly conflicts with the beliefs described in the stimulus.
The issue with answer choice (E) is the word "burdensome." Just because something is burdensome does not mean it is immoral. Therefore, we can have governmental regulations be burdensome while still being moral. Thus, answer choice (E) could be true, i.e. it does not necessarily have to be inconsistent with the beliefs held in the stimulus.
Hope that helped! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
