Question

Read the excerpt from Teaching the Benefits of Capitalism by Roger B. Butters.

Capitalism establishes a social contract that makes it possible for individuals to exercise their franchise and free agency . . . It creates the necessary conditions for people to escape poverty and create wealth for themselves and for others.


Which detail from the excerpt provides the best evidence to support the claim that capitalism is better than socialism?

Capitalism provides a single benefit.

Capitalism enables human choice.

Capitalism establishes a contract.

Capitalism creates necessary conditions.

Answer 1

Answer: Capitalism enables human choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that socialism is a form of socio-political governance that stipulates that all factors and processes of production, including distribution of services and commodities, should be controlled by the community and in turn, distributed again among the community.

Hence, it is apparent that this style of sociopolitical government does not favor "Human Choice" as every member of the community is working together. Whether individuals like it or not.

Hence, in this case, the correct answer is "Capitalism enables human choice."
