This is a point at issue LR question. I was stuck between A and E, but correctly picked E because I correctly identified the conclusions of the both sides and I saw E as a good match. Still, the only reason I have for eliminating A is that Emile never really discusses how definitions themselves affect facts or conclusions, rather peoples' impressions of a chosen word's connotations. Can anyone provide a more in depth analysis?

one of our teachers wrote up this problem here: http://www.manhattanlsat.com/forums/section-4-f581.html?

I hope that helps.
