Reading the passage
This is an EXCEPT question about the differences between the two concepts. Four answers should fit the contrast. We're looking for the one that invents a difference or gets it wrong, so a true description of collective ownership is not automatically the answer.
Working the answers
- ACorrect
Private ownership does allow a group to own property: the second paragraph includes “groups functioning legally as individuals.” Think of a group treated as one legal owner. Collective ownership also involves a community, but group involvement alone doesn't distinguish the concepts.
The real differences concern the basis of ownership and the rights members hold. We shouldn't replace those differences with the mistaken idea that private property excludes groups.
- B
This is a supported difference. Collective use depends on community interests, while private owners are described as free to use their property as they see fit.
- C
Also supported. Collective ownership comes from membership in the community, rather than a personal private-property title.
- D
The text expressly contrasts being a guardian or caretaker under collective ownership with being a titleholder. That makes this a stated difference.
- E
Individual members cannot sell their collective ownership right. That restriction contrasts with private owners' freedom to dispose of their property. This is supported, so it is not the exception.
