In interviews with jurors inquiring how they arrived at their verdicts, researchers found that 40% of the references jurors made were to factors that had not been included in courtroom testimony. to improve the jury system, the researchers suggested that judges give instructions to the jury at the beginning of a trial rather than at the end. they argued that this would permit jurors to concentrate on the most relevant evidence rather than filling in gaps with their own assumptions, which have little to do with the legality of a case.
question: the answer to which of the following questions is LEAST directly relevant to evaluating the researchers' suggestion above?
A. is it possible for a judge to instruct a jury at the end of a trial in such a way that jurors will disregard any irrelevant factors that had been using to weigh the evidence?
B.will a jury that hears a judge's instruction at the beginning of a trial be able to weigh the evidence accordingly once that evidence has actually been presented?
C.will having judges give instructions at the beginning of a trial rather than at the end significantly alter the customary procedures employed by the judicial system?
D. when jurors are queried as to how they arrived at their verdicts, does their interpretation of their decision-making process include many references to factors that were not, in fact, influential?
E. if jurors hear the judge's instructions at the beginning of a trial, what percentage of the factors that influence their decisions will be matters that were not presented in the evidence?

While reading this question i somehow got so lost... and the answer choices did not help either.
Eventually after understanding nothing i gave up and got the answer wrong...and lost precious 4:38 minutes,
how can one address such a situation?
