Question

Which of the following assertions in the passage does the author support with a practical example?A."[D]irect government by the people . . . greatly facilitates sudden insurrection of all kinds by individuals who are exceptionally bold, energetic, and adroit."B."[A]nd therewith disappears also personality and sense of responsibility."C."The adhesion of the crowd is tumultuous, summary, and unconditional."D."[I]t is impossible for the collectivity to undertake the direct settlement of all the controversies that may arise."

Answer 1

[I]t is impossible for the collectivity to undertake the direct settlement of all the controversies that may arise.

Answer: Option D.

Explanation:

The claim that has been given in this option has been supported by an example that has been given by the author in the final paragraph. The evidence is given of the time when Peter wrongs Paul in the passage.

The example given shows and demonstrates why is it weird and absurd to imagine that the entire collectivity would be able to examine the circumstances of the controversy and to adjudicate it and to make a formal judgement and the decision about a matter which is disputed.
