Left Panel
I don't know how to eliminate all the choices, but the answer for this question is E.
A is incorrect. Out of 10000 cases making an appeal to the Supreme court, only 80 are hear.
B: Sometimes a case is heard if only 1 justice wants to hear it because the case is in the realm of his specialty. So B is not true.
C: C is one of those possibilities that is possible that might be true. Actually the cases presented to the court go through a pool of clerks who decide whether or not to pass it on.
D: For the same reason that B is not the answer, I don't think this one is either. The court has in recent history had an odd number of justices. I don't think the chief justice has any more votes than any of the others. The vote rarely is 4 to 4 close, especially recently.
Middle Panel
The answer to this is D to make and pass laws that apply to the state. I'll explain this better in the comments when I'm at home.
Right Panel
I think the closest answer is A. I'll put this one in the comments as well.
Answer:
<u><em>Confucius is known as the first teacher in China who wanted to make education broadly available and who was instrumental in establishing the art of teaching as a vocation. He also established ethical, moral, and social standards that formed the basis of a way of life known as Confucianism.</em></u>
Explanation:
Confucianism is often characterized as a system of social and ethical philosophy rather than a religion. In fact, Confucianism built on an ancient religious foundation to establish the social values, institutions, and transcendent ideals of traditional Chinese society.
Do you know the context?
I suppose the quotation is stressing that the writer has put a lot of effort into getting their argument/grievances heard by the parliament, and that said parliament is 'tyrannical', implying that it rules without concern for the people or accountability to them. It seems that the quote may be a way of justifying some later action, essentially saying; 'we've tried and failed to do this in the proper way, so now we must be more forceful'.
