Question

In paragraph two, the author states that in their "democracy” students in the multiplicity stage are directionless. The writer describes multiplicity students as being in a "democracy” because

• A. there are so many different kinds of people in a democracy.
• B. in an "ideal” democracy, all people are considered equal; by extension, so are their opinions.
• C. Democrats generally do not have a good sense of direction.
• D. in a democracy the individual has ultimate authority over himself, not the elders.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

in an "ideal” democracy, all people are considered equal; by extension, so

are their opinions.

This is an extension question. Multiplicity students view all opinions as equally valid. They are yet to learn how to rank opinions (truths)— all votes (thoughts) count equally. The answer is (b).
