Q25

Having a tough time deciding between A/C/E here. I ended up going with C because of lines 15-16 and 33-36. Explanation needed!

We're asked how the author distinguishes between two examples of coordinating rules, and you're right that the two examples are driving on the road (where it's coordination that's preventing the harm, i.e. us smashing into each other--lines 30-32), and the prohibition of steroids, the harm of which "goes beyond the simple lack of coordination itself" (line 35).

This is the distinguishing factor between the two examples, which matches (A). In the first example, the harm comes from the lack of coordination (if we don't stay on our side of the road, we collide). In the second, the harm isn't just that the game is unfair but there's an individual risk to one's health that doesn't have anything to do with coordinating.

(B) is not how they differ; they both do this.

(C) is not a difference mentioned... In fact, in line 50, it says if they understand the rule, they will gladly consent to it.

(D) not mentioned as a difference

(E) there is no discussion of how the first example compares to rules against burglary and assault
