17.        Which of the following statements best expresses the irony pointed out by the authors in lines 13-16 of the passage?

(A) Female delinquents tend to commit victimless crimes more frequently than their male counterparts.
(B) The predicament of male delinquents receives more attention than that of females because males are accused of more serious crimes.
(C) Adults are frequently punished less severely than adolescents for committing more serious crimes.
(D) The juvenile justice system cannot correct its biases because it does not even recognize them.
(E) Although the number of female delinquents is steadily increasing, the crimes of which they are accused are not particularly serious.

求助！

Line 13-16在哪里？
Second开始的句子？这是解释原因吧
Ironic是出现在了 line 11
E选项前一句话和后一句话分别不同的作用，混淆视听

这个ironic不就是
line14-16这句话的改写吗

这个，我觉得E看起来更像是14-16的改写吧？
我也错了好几次，我的里解释E的逗号前后没有因果关系，谈不上irony

E本身就是一个错误选项，文章完全没这个意思。
这个 Ironic的意思你读一遍全文
