I selected A for this, because lines 38-40 spoke about the benefits of disclosing information before your opponent did and thus undercutting her reveal's impact.
I realise that lines 50-54 do point to the jurors wanting to arrive at a certain stance, evidence for choice D, but can someone explain why A is wrong / not as correct?

Re: Q11
Hi layamaheshwari!
You're absolutely right about the correct answer (D) as supported from lines 50-54. Bingo, but let's go through the wrong ones as well. And I'm pretty sure that it's juar a misreading of answer choice (A) that's the issue for you.
Incorrect Answers
(A) is too specific. The issue in the passage is that you bring out negative information for your side before your opponent does. But how much longer before? That isn't mentioned.
(B) is out of scope. Lawyers assessing likely reactions of jurors?
(C) is out of scope. Lawyers clients testifying?
(E) is out of scope. Voir DIre (screening prospective jurors)?
