Lawyer: Juries are traditionally given their instructions in convoluted, legalistic language. The verbiage is intended to make the instructions more precise, but greater precision is of little use if most jurors have difficulty understanding the instructions. Since it is more important for jurors to have a basic but adequate understanding of their role than it is for the details of that role to be precisely specified, jury instructions should be formulated in simple, easily comprehensible language.
Each of the following, if true, strengthens the lawyer's argument EXCEPT:
(A) Most jurors are less likely to understand instructions given in convoluted, legalistic language than instructions given in simple, easily comprehensible language.
(B) Most jurors do not have an adequate understanding of their role after being given jury instructions in convoluted, legalistic language.
(C) Jury instructions formulated in simple, easily comprehensible language can adequately describe the role of the jurors.
(D) The details of the role of the jurors cannot be specified with complete precision in simple, easily comprehensible language.
(E) Jurors do not need to know the precise details of their role in order to have an adequate understanding of that role.

EXCEPT question. The question asks us to find out the option that does not help the lawyer's argument
(A) Most jurors are less likely to understand instructions given in convoluted, legalistic language than instructions given in simple, easily comprehensible language.
Supports the lawyers's argument
(B) Most jurors do not have an adequate understanding of their role after being given jury instructions in convoluted, legalistic language.
Supports the lawyers's argument
(C) Jury instructions formulated in simple, easily comprehensible language can adequately describe the role of the jurors.
Supports the lawyers's argument
(D) The details of the role of the jurors cannot be specified with complete precision in simple, easily comprehensible language.
The lawyer assumes that the role details are possible to be formulated with complete precision in simple, easily comprehensible language. However, since this statement negates that fact this doesn't strengthen the lawyer's position.
(E) Jurors do not need to know the precise details of their role in order to have an adequate understanding of that role.
The statement suggests that the precise understanding is not at all required and hence the ovulated language is unnecessary
IMHO Option D
