Jurist: A nation’s laws must be viewed as expressions of a moral code that transcends those laws and serves as a measure of their adequacy. Otherwise, a society can have no sound basis for preferring any given set of laws to all others. Thus, any moral prohibition against the violation of statutes must leave room for exceptions.
Which one of the following can be properly inferred from the jurist’s statements?
(A) Those who formulate statutes are not primarily concerned with morality when they do so.
(B) Sometimes criteria other than the criteria derived from a moral code should be used in choosing one set of laws over another.
(C) Unless it is legally forbidden ever to violate some moral rules, moral behavior and compliance with laws are indistinguishable.
(D) There is no statute that a nation’s citizens have a moral obligation to obey.
(E) A nation’s laws can sometimes come into conflict with the moral code they express.

Hi,
Negative or too strong words in each choice are:
A. .... Not primarily concerned.
B. Non moral criteria SHOULD be used.
C. ...Indistinguishable
D. ...NO STATURE TO OBEY.
All above words/phrases make the related choices WRONG..
E... Acceptable as it is a softer, more general and acceptable comment .
