Hello everyone. Let me make the case for (D). (E) is begging for a big leap in reasoning to my understanding at least as much as (D) does. If in countries where strong libel laws already exist it's been shown that "... people make negative comments about public figures only when such statements...

answer (E) is very tempting...

the contrapositive of (E) is:

if one doesn't know the consequences of one's actions then one doesn't know if those actions are moral. is that true?

if that's the case it would actually be true and justify the reasoning of the stimulus.

do you agree?
