While many have objected to crowded calendars, trial delays and overworked judges, she is among the few to ask a different kind of question. Why, she inquires, do ''some litigants have such a preferred status over others'' in the use of public resources, the courts, which in theory are available to all but in fact are so unequally distributed between rich and poor? Furthermore, why do we tolerate the great disparity in access to the legal and investigative talent required to protect precious rights?

In direct speech:
Jack “hi, Jill, when do you plan to go up the hill?
In reported/indirect speech: Jack asks Jill when she plans to go up the hill.
Here the do has been removed and merged with the main verb as done in an affirmative statement.
Direct Speech:
Jack asked Jill “Hi, when does your mother think of going back to her house?
Reported / indirect speech:
Jack asked Jill when her mother thought of going back to her house.
There may be some exceptions, but by and large this is the general use of “do and does” in direct interrogative sentences.
For example, look at the following example which is just a reported speech and a statement.
He said that he always used to muse why do some people vote for corrupt parties. Here the use of the word do is a mistake. The correct form will be: He said that he always used to muse why some people vote/voted for corrupt parties.
Sorry, if I have dragged you too much

Hello Everyone!
Let's tackle this question, one thing at a time, and narrow down our options quickly so we know how to answer questions like this when they pop up on the GMAT! To begin, let's take a quick look at the question and highlight any major differences between the options in orange:
Judge Lois Forer’s study asks why do some litigants have a preferred status over others in the use of a public resource, the courts, which in theory are available to all but in fact are unequally distributed among rich and poor.
(A) do some litigants have a preferred status over others in the use of a public resource, the courts, which in theory are available to all but in fact are unequally distributed among
(B) some litigants have a preferred status over others in the use of a public resource, the courts, which in theory are available to all but in fact are unequally distributed between
(C) do some litigants have a preferred status over another in the use of a public resource, the courts, in theory available to all but in fact are unequally distributed among
(D) some litigants have a preferred status to another in the use of a public resource, the courts, in theory available to all but in fact not equally distributed between
(E) does one litigant have a preferred status over the other in the use of a public resource, the courts, in theory available to all but in fact they are not equally distributed among
After a quick glance over the options, there are a few things we can focus on to narrow down our choices:
1. do some / some / does one
2. over others / over another / to another / over the other
3. which in theory / in theory
4. among / between
Since the quickest way to eliminate options is the look for the easy splits, let's start with #4 on our list: among vs. between. No matter which one we choose, we'll eliminate 2-3 options rather quickly. Here is a quick reminder of the difference between the two:
among = 3+ items (I am the worst mathematician among all of my classmates.)
between = 2 items (Teenagers often feel stuck between childhood and adulthood.)
Let's see how each option handles this, and eliminate the ones that do it incorrectly. To help, we'll add in the end of the sentence (a major clue as to which one you'll need):
(A) do some litigants have a preferred status over others in the use of a public resource, the courts, which in theory are available to all but in fact are unequally distributed among rich and poor.
(B) some litigants have a preferred status over others in the use of a public resource, the courts, which in theory are available to all but in fact are unequally distributed between rich and poor.
(C) do some litigants have a preferred status over another in the use of a public resource, the courts, in theory available to all but in fact are unequally distributed among rich and poor.
(D) some litigants have a preferred status to another in the use of a public resource, the courts, in theory available to all but in fact not equally distributed between rich and poor.
(E) does one litigant have a preferred status over the other in the use of a public resource, the courts, in theory available to all but in fact they are not equally distributed among rich and poor.
We can eliminate options A, C, & E right away because they use "among" to talk about 2 items (rich and poor).
Now that we're left with only 2 options, let's see if we can find any other problems:
(B) some litigants have a preferred status over others in the use of a public resource, the courts, which in theory are available to all but in fact are unequally distributed between
This is CORRECT! It uses the proper "between" for 2 items. It also uses parallel structure to compare "some litigants" having preference "over others," both of which are plural.
(D) some litigants have a preferred status to another in the use of a public resource, the courts, in theory available to all but in fact not equally distributed between
This is INCORRECT because there is a parallelism issue. When comparing two items, even if one is better/more advantaged than another, the two things need to be similar. In this sentence, the writer is comparing the plural "some litigants" to the singular "another."
There you have it - option B is the correct choice! If we focus first on the "either/or" splits, we can eliminate options quickly - and maybe avoid wasting time on more complex issues! If we hadn't started with the "among/between" split, we'd have to take a longer route to get to the correct answer.
