Glen: An emphasis on law's purely procedural side produces a concern with personal rights that leads to the individual's indifference to society's welfare. Law's primary role should be to create virtuous citizens.
Sara: But such a role would encourage government to decide which modes of life are truly virtuous; that would be more dangerous than government's being overprotective of individuals' rights.
The dialogue provides the most support for the claim that Glen and Sara disagree about whether

(A) citizens can be assumed to be capable of making good choices without governmental interference
(B) virtuousness on the part of citizens is more important than the protection of citizens' rights
(C) there is an inherent danger in allowing government to decide what constitutes virtuous behavior among citizens
(D) an emphasis on law's purely procedural side results in government's being overprotective of citizens' rights
(E) the cultivation of virtue among citizens should be the primary role of law

Option A - INCORRECT.
According to Glen and Sara, citizens should be assumed to make good choices without Governmental interference but procedural sides will disable the effect of this choices and the relationship among citizens and the government.

Option B - INCORRECT.
Virtuousness and citizens right should be of topmost importance to the government as it is to the citizens, but in this claim it is obvious that procedural sides will create a disadvantage on the sides of the citizens through primary role of Laws.

Option C - CORRECT.
This option has proclaim its support on the discussion of Glen and Sara. If the government is given the right to decide what constitutes virtuousness behavior among citizens then there will be restriction to personal rights and that will lead to individual differences to society welfare. However, citizens should be given the right to virtuousness and also there should be freedom with rules of laws to support individual behavior with which citizens will always remember to check their integrity in the society to avoid sanction from the government.

Option D - INCORRECT.
Citizens does not appreciate it when Government are being over protective of their rights, with which emphases on laws purely procedural sides will affect the relationship of the citizens in the society.

Option E - INCORRECT.
Cultivation of virtue shouldn't be the primary role of law, citizens should be given the rights to express their personality freely without interference, because citizens are already aware of laws guiding against in-disciplinary act in the society.
