What does test anxiety really look like on the GMAT? For many test takers, it does not look like a panic attack. Instead, it shows up as brain fog, rereading, negative comparisons, mental noise....

Journalist: When judges do not maintain strict control over their courtrooms, lawyers often try to influence jury verdicts by using inflammatory language and by badgering witnesses. These obstructive behaviors hinder the jury's effort to reach a correct verdict. Whenever lawyers engage in such behavior, therefore, it is reasonable to doubt whether the verdict is correct.
Which one of the following, if true, most weakens the journalist's argument?
(A) Court proceedings overseen by judges who are very strict in controlling lawyers' behavior are known to result sometimes in incorrect verdicts.
(B) Lawyers tend to be less concerned than are judges about whether the outcomes of jury trials are just or not.
(C) People who are influenced by inflammatory language are very unlikely to admit at some later time that they were influenced by such language.
(D) Obstructive courtroom behavior by a lawyer is seldom effective in cases where jurors are also presented with legitimate evidence.
(E) The selection of jurors is based in part on an assessment of the likelihood that they are free of bias.

These obstructive behaviors hinder the jury's effort to reach a correct verdict. Whenever lawyers engage in such behavior, therefore, it is reasonable to doubt whether the verdict is correct.
Which one of the following, if true, most weakens the journalist's argument?
The journalist argues that whenever lawyers use obstructive behavior, the verdict becomes doubtful because such behavior interferes with the jury’s ability to decide correctly. To weaken this, we need to show that such behavior usually does not actually affect the verdict when the jury has proper evidence.
(A) Court proceedings overseen by judges who are very strict in controlling lawyers' behavior are known to result sometimes in incorrect verdicts.
This does not weaken the argument. The argument is about cases with obstructive lawyer behavior, not about whether strict courtrooms can also produce wrong verdicts.
(B) Lawyers tend to be less concerned than are judges about whether the outcomes of jury trials are just or not.
This does not weaken the argument. It may even fit the journalist’s concern, but it does not show that obstructive behavior fails to affect verdicts.
(C) People who are influenced by inflammatory language are very unlikely to admit at some later time that they were influenced by such language.
This does not weaken the argument. It only says the influence may be hard to detect later.
(D) Obstructive courtroom behavior by a lawyer is seldom effective in cases where jurors are also presented with legitimate evidence.
This is correct. If obstructive behavior is usually ineffective when jurors have legitimate evidence, then such behavior does not automatically give us strong reason to doubt the correctness of the verdict.
(E) The selection of jurors is based in part on an assessment of the likelihood that they are free of bias.
This weakens only slightly, if at all. Being selected as relatively unbiased does not show that jurors will not be affected by inflammatory language or witness badgering.

It's a clear fight between D and E
So, if free of Bias is regarded irrelevant against the fact jurors are not affected by inflammatory language
How are we considering that cases where legitimate evidences are present do actually happen. i.e what if there were no cases where legitimate evidence was present?
D option in my mind feels like: IF there is legitimate evidence -> Jurors are MOSTLY unaffected
guddo Any thoughts on this?
