Question: 99

9. Man's survival is a result of mutual assistance, since he is essentially ____ rather than ____.

  • A. superior ... inferior
  • B. cooperative ... competitive
  • C. individualistic ... gregarious
  • D. selfish ... stingy

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

The correct answer is (B). The sentence, by the words "rather than," requires that the two words filling the blanks be opposites. Only choice (D) does not meet this requirement. However, mutual assistance implies COOPERATION; hence choice (B) is the correct answer.
