    E The law firm was responsible for the scandal. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    This option captures the severity of the damage ("irrevocably tarnished") by focusing on the ruined reputation of "integrity." Option 1 downplays the damage ("a little bit"). Option 2 contradicts the concept of "irrevocably tarnished". Option 4 implies the scandal caused reflection, not necessarily a ruined reputation. Option 5 makes an assumption that is supported by the question statement.
