C should be the correct answer

Question:
DIRECTIONS: Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives and mark the correct answer.


The Conservative is not an extreme individualist. He may be willing to concede numerous arguments of the unqualified individualists, for his own respect, because the dignity of the individual is not surpassed by that of any other man. Yet, he cannot agree to the full implications of individualism, which is based, so he thinks, on an incorrect appraisal of man, society, history and government. In his own way, the individualist is as much a perfectionist as the Socialist, and with perfectionism the Conservative can have no truck.


In particular, the Conservative refuses to go all the way with economic individualism. His distrust of the unfettered man, his recognition of groups, his sense of the complexity of the social process, his recognition of the real services that the government can perform all these sentiments make it impossible for him to subscribe to the dogmas and shibboleths of economic individualism laissez faire, the negative state, enlightened self-interest, the law of supply and demand, the profit motive. The Conservative may occasionally have kind words for each of these notions, but he is careful to qualify his support by stating other, more important social truths. For example, he does not for a moment deny the prominence of the profit motive, but he insists that it be recognised for the selfish thing it is and be kept within reasonable socially imposed limits.

Which of the following statements is true?

Options:
A) The Socialist and the Individualist tend to be broadly similar in their views
B) The Conservative believes that profit motive originates in selfishness
C) The Conservative is also an extreme Individualist
D) None of the above
Solution:
Ans: (b)
