Set 6: Text Structure (Advanced)
Explanation
PASSAGE
While utilitarianism prioritizes the greatest good for the greatest number, it often fails to account for individual rights. Deontology, conversely, emphasizes duty and rules regardless of consequences. Ethical leadership requires navigating the tension between these frameworks.
Which choice best describes the text's organization?
Detailed Answer Explanation
This question tests your understanding of how the text is organized. Theory 1: Utilitarianism. Theory 2: Deontology (opposing). Synthesis: Navigating tension (Leadership). Authors structure their writing purposefully to guide readers through their ideas. Identify the organizational pattern (cause-effect, compare-contrast, problem-solution) and how each part contributes to the whole. Authors choose organizational patterns deliberately to enhance their message. Recognizing whether a text uses chronological order, cause-effect, compare-contrast, or problem-solution helps you understand the author's purpose and follow the logic.
Key Evidence:
• "utilitarianism"
• "Deontology, conversely"
• "navigating the tension"
Why others are wrong: D (No history.), C (Neutral presentation.), A (No names.).
