Raymond Burr played the role of lawyer Perry Mason on television. Burr's death in 1993 prompted a prominent lawyer to say "Although not a lawyer, Mr. Burr strove for such authenticity that we feel as if we lost one of our own." This comment from a prestigious attorney provides appalling evidence that, in the face of television, even some legal professionals are losing their ability to distinguish fiction from reality.
The reasoning in the argument is flawed because the argument
(A) takes the views of one lawyer to represent the views of all lawyers
(B) criticizes the lawyer rather than the lawyer's statement
(C) presumes that the lawyer is qualified to evaluate the perFORMance of an actor
(D) focuses on a famous actor's portrayal of a lawyer rather than on the usual way in which lawyers are portrayed on television
(E) ignores the part of the lawyer's remark that indicates an awareness of the difference between reality and fiction

IMHO E, "Although not a lawyer, Mr. Burr strove for such authenticity...." The blue part shows that prestigious attorney is aware of the difference between reality and fiction.

This comment from a prestigious attorney provides appalling evidence that, in the face of television, even some legal professionals are losing their ability to distinguish fiction from reality.
The reasoning in the argument is flawed because the argument
(A) takes the views of one lawyer to represent the views of all lawyers : reasoning does not mention that result is based on the evidence of 1, 2, ---- many laywers.
(B) criticizes the lawyer rather than the lawyer's statement: it is not a criticism.
(C) presumes that the lawyer is qualified to evaluate the perFORMance of an actor: No concerns to the qualifications clearly mentions legal professionals
(D) focuses on a famous actor's portrayal of a lawyer rather than on the usual way in which lawyers are portrayed on television : Argument is not about about how layers are portrayed but about one specific character.
(E) ignores the part of the lawyer's remark that indicates an awareness of the difference between reality and fiction : Reasoning by mentioning [u] losing their ability to distinguish fiction from reality. [\u] clearly ignores the fact mentioned in the statement "Although not a lawyer,....."
I would pick (E) because the prestigious lawyer started is remark with "Although not a lawyer,...." - meaning he knows that the actor was just playing the role and was not a lawyer in reality

Because the argument come sto a conclusion that legal professionals are losing their ability to distinguish fiction from reality BUT the lawyer is aware of the difference in his statement "he strove for such authenticity" indicates the awareness.
