Passage 3: Judicial Sincerity

Explanation

B. Neither passage explicitly mentions the intentionality behind judicial deception.


C. Both passages touch upon the need for transparency in judicial decision-making as part of the larger discussion on judicial candor.


D. Passage A specifically discusses the role of judicial candor in providing guidance to litigants.


E. (Correct Response) Passage B mentions restraints on judicial abuse of power as a function served by requiring judges to give reasons for their decisions, which is not a point mentioned in Passage A.

Passage B uniquely mentions restraints on judicial abuse of power in the context of the necessity for judges to give reasons for their decisions, suggesting that this practice serves as a check against potential abuse. Passage A does not discuss this aspect.
