Multiple choice

Directions: In the following question, four statements are provided between an opening statement 1 and a closing statement 6. The four statements are jumbled up and form a coherent paragraph when properly arranged. Select the alternative representing the proper and logical sequencing of these six taken together.

  1. It is significant that one of the most common objections to competitions is that it is blind. A. This is important because in a system of free enterprise based on private property, chances are not equal and there is indeed a strong case for reducing that inequality of opportunity. B. Rather it is a choice between a system where it is the will of a few persons that decides who is to get what and one where it depends at least partly, on the ability and the enterprise of the people concerned C. Although competition and justice may have little in common, it is as much a commendation of competition as of justice that it is no respecter of persons. D. The choice today is not between a system in which everybody will get what he deserves according to some universal standard and one where individual shares are determined by chance or goodwill.
  2. The fact that the opportunities open to the poor in a competitive society are much more restricted than those open to the rich, does not make it less true that in such a society the poor are more free than a person commanding much greater material comfort in a different society.

A Correct answer
Explanation

A tricky but very easy question. It is talking about competition being blind in sentence 1 and look closely at sentence C in which it talks about a common trait of competition and justice and also that it is no respecter of person. Now, as you know that law also knows to be blind. Therefore, these two sentences can appropriately be combined together to make logical sense. This marks option (1) as correct answer.
