I narrowed it down to A and D and finally chose the wrong one. I can't find anywhere in the passage that says inquisitorial system is based on cooperation.
Any help on this is appreciated!

Re: Q20
Well, the "adversarial" system sounds more like it's based on conflict, not cooperation, so we might use that to at least make (A) seem plausibly supportable. We also have lines 39-40 that that describe an inquisitorial trial as "less like a duel between two adversarial parties".
But I think ultimately LSAT would lean on lines 37-38 for support of (A). In the inquisitorial system, both the prosecutor and defense attorney conduct pretrial research. And lines 37-38 state that the inquisitorial system mandates that the two parties share the evidence in their possession.
This is 'cooperative' in the sense that the system is designed with the goal of assembling the most complete body of facts surrounding the case possible. To that end, both parties involved in the trial contribute the evidence they have in their possession.
Hope this helps.
