Reading the passage
Our refined main point makes diversity important. We want the group the writer would be least likely to call a community: look for people brought together around a narrow interest without the varied backgrounds and shared dependence that the writer values.
Working the answers
- A
The soldiers come from different geographic regions and serve together in one battalion. The description supplies both varied backgrounds and a common setting, making this a stronger candidate than C.
- B
These students share a political interest, but they also explicitly come from different socioeconomic backgrounds. The common interest doesn't erase that stated diversity.
- CCorrect
These doctors meet around their shared profession. Different hospitals provide some variation, but the description doesn't give us the broader differences in background that the other choices supply. It most closely resembles a group selecting itself around one topic. This is a comparison among the five descriptions, not a claim that doctors can never form a community or have diverse lives.
- D
The teachers work “interdependently,” with the same students in the same school, and live in varied cities and neighborhoods. That gives us ongoing shared work and different local backgrounds. It isn't merely a gathering of people who happen to have the same occupation.
- E
The worshipers support the same institution and have substantial economic and cultural diversity. That combination fits the writer's idea much better than the professional gathering in C.
