[LR][PT44-S2-Q16] Unregulated market

waimanUID: 2892309

Sociologist: Some economists hold that unregulated markets should accompany democratic sovereignty because they let people vote with their money. But this view ignores the crucial distinction between the private consumer and the public citizen. In the marketplace the question is, “What do I want?” At the voting booth the question is always, “What do we want?” Hence, supporters of political democracy can also support marketplace regulation.

Which one of the following most accurately expresses the conclusion drawn by the sociologist?

(A) Voters think of themselves as members of a community, rather than as isolated individuals.
(B) Unregulated markets are incompatible with democratic sovereignty.
(C) Where there is democratic sovereignty there should be unregulated markets.
(D) Private consumers are primarily concerned with their own self-interest.
(E) Opposition to unregulated markets is consistent with support for democracy. (OA)------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
從前面Some economists hold that unregulated markets should accompany democratic sovereignty because they let people vote with their money. 到But轉折語氣出現就選了(B), 答案是(E), 仔細看兩個答案很細微, 請教為什麼(E)更好? 我的推理盲點是什麼? 謝謝

问： conclusion。
Hence 后，“supporters of political democracy can also support marketplace regulation.”，是conclusion。
-----------------------------
E 是 “supporters of political democracy can also support marketplace regulation.”的同义改写。
------------------------------
“distinction”，差别。
不一定就是相反，可能是 30%情况不同，70%情况相同。
B中，incompatible 用词不当。
所以，B 是 “shell game” answer，不正确。
