Reading the passage
Another EXCEPT question, this time asking what is explicitly stated about ethical dilemmas. We'll look for four supported claims and one addition. The answers can use different words while keeping the same meaning.
Working the answers
- A
Paragraph two describes the dilemmas as “multifarious.” Even if the word is unfamiliar, multi and the surrounding discussion of varied relationships point toward many kinds. That supports variety.
- B
Paragraph one calls “strictly scientific thinking” insufficient for grappling with modern ethical dilemmas. Purely and inadequate restate those ideas; the wording needn't be identical.
- CCorrect
Modern doesn't mean more common than before. We get no comparison of how often dilemmas arise over time, and no claim that scientific or technological advances caused an increase.
- D
Paragraph two says theorizing contributes little to preparing students for these dilemmas. That's the stated shortcoming of abstract ethical training.
- E
The end of paragraph two explicitly says courses drawing on narrative literature can better prepare students for ethical dilemmas. This is the proposed benefit, not the unsupported exception.
