Reading comprehension practice passage for law aspirants

A short practice passage with questions and explanations, plus a method for answering inference questions accurately.

Passage

"Courts do not only settle disputes; they also explain why a dispute is settled one way. That explanation, repeated over time, becomes a guide for people who never enter a courtroom."

Questions

Q1. What is the main idea? — Judicial reasoning guides wider society, not only the parties.
Q2. Which word could replace "settle"? — Resolve.

Method

Read the question stems first, find the main idea in one line, and reject options that are true but not stated.
