Why is E incorrect? Is the rejection of his theory not the rejection of a theoretical explanation?

@Will-Wester,
Happy to help.
(E) says, "the rejection of a theoretical explanation"
The problem with (E) is that Anson isn't rejecting a theoretical
explanation. In fact, Anson's explanation for why Dr. Ladlow is not a
responsible psychologist is actually theoretical, as he describes a
theoretical explanation or how responsible psychologists act. He uses
this theoretical explanation and applies it to the case of Dr. Ladlow
to demonstrate that he's irresponsible. Thus, (E) is incorrect.
(B) says, "the application of a general principle"
Anson uses a general principle in his argument to support his
conclusion that Dr. Ladlow isn't a responsible psychologist. He
defines what a responsible psychologist is by using a general
principle. He shows that Dr. Ladlow doesn't fit into the definition of
a responsible psychologist, and therefore concludes that Dr. Ladlow
isn't a responsible psychologist. Anson's argument is built around his
application of the general principle he cites to support his
conclusion. This is the correct answer.
Does this make sense? Let us know if you have any more questions!
