Question

Which of the following would have been true if biological linkages structured human society?

• A. The role of mother would have been defined through her reciprocal relationship with her children.
• B. We would not have been offended by the father playing his role ‘tongue in cheek’.
• C. Women would have adopted and fostered children rather than giving birth to them.
• D. Even if warlords were physically weaker than their followers, they would still dominate them.
• E. Waiters would have stronger motivation to serve their customers.

Answer 1

The correct option is B We would not have been offended by the father playing his role ‘tongue in cheek’.

Answer (B) We must look for an option that we do not consider as normal. Except option B, all the options are normal. For example, it is absolutely fine with us if a waiter serves more than that is expected from him. But we are offended when a father behaves in a tongue in cheek manner. If biological linkages structured human society, it should not matter to us how a father behaves. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
