The written version of this lesson is a menace for AC D
Hmm, I can think of so many controversial examples so perhaps something anodyne. Alright, let’s do Christianity. 😇 I doubt the founders of Christianity intended for the Spanish Inquisition.
I'm confused as to why E cannot be a good answer. The institutions have a purpose, and they can serve another purpose (being serving selfish staff members in their pursuits.) The only reason I can think that E wouldn't be correct is that E says "just as effectively" and we do not know how effective the institutions are at serving each purpose. Someone please chime in. I chose b under time constraints but under blind review, E seems just as appealing to me.
In the text summary for C, "in the ladder case" should be "in the latter case". I was thinking back to the question with the kids and the stairs and ladders!
I didn't like B because of the "not all" in it. The stimulus' conclusion is very strong, saying each of the staff members, but of course I accept that B is the right answer and will try to rethink this question using JY's advice.
I chose answer B because the paragraph aims at the fact that people must have alternative or, in this case, altruistic motives to achieve selfish reasons. I think altruistic motives in C is assumption bait, but that is what I came up with because I did not know the definition of altruistic very well and, in the answer B, I thought the word property could have a definition that meant a "building or buildings and the land belonging to it or them"(Oxford Languages) not a property like "an attribute, quality, or characteristic of something"(Oxford Languages).
Why couldn't E be the answer based on the idea that an instrument (i.e. institutions mentioned in the stimulus) created for one purpose (i.e. public good) could also serve another purpose effectively (i.e. fulfill workers' selfish desires)?
E seemed like a more concise principle for the stimulus. ie. The hospitals purpose was to serve the public, the staffs purpose was to gain some sort of selfish purpose and both needs were being met.

I'm so dumb, all i could think of when I saw property was that an organization owned land that it's employees didn't have...
Grammar made me get this wrong!!!
A dog can be used for companionship but can also be used for hunting
An army can be used for defense, but can also be used for offense.
"property" was a choice.

Finally got one of the questions right AND under the target timing!
Lmao American Pie reference is top tier

I overthought the "not all"
I feel like B was still even a reach I understand the explanation but i think it's still dumb.
Completely disregarded B because I saw property and compared it something else...ugh
I did want to pick B, but I thought its not referred "property" but rather quality. Meh
sick 4/4 right
I was reading property as in real estate oh my gawd

super glad I am not the only one who read property as tangible property lol.
This made no sense to me at all like what property are we talking about
3 for 3 so far. This one almost got me. Almost went with C but realized the people never claimed anything.
E seemed like a more concise principle for the stimulus. ie. The hospitals purpose was to serve the public, the staffs purpose was to gain some sort of selfish purpose and both needs were being met.
NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!!
the only if screwed me up
