Question

1. It is significant that one of the most common objections to competition is that it is blind.
A. This is important because in a system of free enterprise based on private property chances are not equal and there is indeed a strong case for reducing the inequality of opportunity.
B. Rather it is a choice between a system where it is the will of few persons that decides who is to get what and one where it depends at least partly, on the ability and the enterprise of the people concerned.
C. Although competition and justice may have little else in common, it is as much a commendation of competition as of justice that it is no respecter of persons.
D. The choice today is not between a system in which everybody will get what he deserves according to some universal standard and one where individuals’ shares are determined by chance of goodwill.
6. The fact that opportunities open to the poor in a competitive society are much more restricted than those open to the rich, does not make it less true that in such a society the poor are more free than a person commanding much greater material comfort in a different type of society.

• A. CDBA
• B. DCBA
• C. ABCD
• D. BADC

Hint:

Abstract ideas like "blindness" or "justice" require elaboration. Find the sentence that defines or reframes that term first. Logical comparison and elaboration often follow.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The opening sentence talks about the "blindness" of competition, which needs clarification.
(C) fits next — it defines the notion that competition does not favor individuals, like justice. 
(D) builds further — clarifying today’s dilemma is not ideal fairness vs unfairness, but randomness vs competition. 
(B) supports D — giving two options: one based on a few deciding, and one based on ability. 
(A) then argues the system isn’t truly equal — making a case for reducing inequality. 
Sentence 6 concludes the point — that despite imperfections, a competitive system provides more freedom. So the correct sequence becomes: 1 — C — D — B — A — 6 CDBA
