government system, so (D) is incorrect.
B Choice (A) refers to Cable’s readers’ belief that recognition of rights would generate social
chaos, which might seem like it relates to (A) of question 26. However, in the lines in
question, Cable’s readers claim to be on the side of social order, while Cable says that they
are violating natural social order. Therefore, (A) is not correct. Choice (B) states that
Cable’s detractors are making plans that are unnecessary in a society that has a good natural
order, so (B) supports (A) of question 26 and is the correct answer. Choice (C) concerns
Cable’s distinction between civil rights and social privileges, which is not mentioned in the
answer choices of question 26 and is thus not the correct answer. Choice (D) discusses the
concept of family rights, which is not mentioned in the answer choices of question 26 and is
therefore not correct.
B Cable speaks of his opponents in lines 52–58, stating that he does not charge any bad
intention or conscious false pretense on their part. He asserts that his opponents did not
have bad intentions, and he does not make any rude or mocking statements toward them, so
(A) is not supported by the passage. After Cable states that his opponents had good
intentions, he goes on to introduce his point about the differences between rights and social
amenities, which he will continue to expound on for the remainder of the passage.
Therefore, (B) is correct. Cable does not provide a summary of the previous arguments or
use the same language he had been using, so (C) is incorrect. Cable does not close the
argument, but rather continues discussing the matter for the remainder of the passage, so (D)
is not correct.
A Cable states in lines 72–73 that civil relations are determined by laws, and in matters of
social relations, everyone consults his own pleasure. This indicates that there is a
difference between civil and social relations, and that social relations are not governed by
laws. By pointing out that everyone consults his own pleasure, Cable suggests that opinions
about social relations will differ from person to person, which means that individuals will
make their own decisions about social relations. This means that everyone consults his own
decision-making judgment to determine social relations. Therefore, a good synonym for
pleasure is “decision-making judgment,” and the correct answer must match “decision-
making judgment.” Choice (A) matches that synonym, so (A) is correct. Choices (B), (C),
and (D) do not match “decision-making judgment,” so they are incorrect.
B Cable describes the difference between civil and social rights in lines 59–68. He states that
there are no such things as social rights and explains that rights are connected only to
civil relations. He cites specific laws regarding family relations to provide concrete
examples of the difference. He also states specific rules such as All that go by personal
choice are Social relations to create concrete guidelines for understanding the issue. His
tone is clinical and particular, which means (B) is supported by the passage. He is not
aggressive or angry, so (A) is incorrect. While Cable does not agree with his opponents, he
does not focus on criticizing their side, but rather on explaining his own in legal terms, so
(C) is incorrect. Cable does not agree with his opponents, so (D) is incorrect.
D Note that this question contains the word EXCEPT, indicating that the correct answer will
