Read the following statement by Socrates:
“In questions of just and unjust, fair and foul, good and evil, which are the subjects of our present consultation, ought we to follow the opinion of the many and
to fear them; or the opinion of the one man who has understanding?”
Extract Socrates' argument from this text and choose the sentence that accurately reflects it.
Non-experts have opinions, but the man who is an expert in a field has true knowledge.
Absolute justice can only be achieved when the state agrees with the opinion of the masses.
Any man who cares about ethics and wisdom has an obligation to listen to himself over others.
, He who has experienced the administration of justice will do as the majority commands him to do.
RATIONALE
In this selection from the Crito, Socrates argues that we should consult experts (who have "understanding," or knowledge) when we seek wisdom, and not the
majority (who have only opinion).

Which of the following is NOT an example of Aristotle’s notion of hylomorphism?
Bodily organs and a human being
A statue and a human being
The soul and a human being
An unborn child and a human being
RATIONALE
Aristotle's notion of hylomorphism states that being is a relationship, a union of form and matter. All of the examples that signify relationships are cases of
hylomorphism: bodily organs (matter) and human beings (form); an unborn child (matter) and a human being (form); human beings (matter) and the soul
(form). There is no ontological relationship between a statue and a human being, so this is not an example of hylomorphism.
