There is little plausibility to the claim that it is absurd to criticize anyone for being critical. Obviosly, people must assess one another and not all assessments will be positive. However, there is wisdom behind the injunction against being judgmental. To be judgmental is not merely to assess someone negatively, but to do so prior to a serious effort at understanding.

WHich one of the following most accurately expresses the main conclusion drawn in the argument?

A. To be judgmental is to assess someone negatively prior to making a serious effort at understanding.
B. It is absurd to criticize anyone for being critical.
C. There is some plausibility to the claim that it is absurd to criticize anyone for being critical.
D. Not all assessments people make of one another will be positive.
E. There is wisdom behind the injunction against being judgmental.
