Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubner's Freakonomics.
There is a tale, “The Ring of Gyges," that Feldman sometimes tells his economist friends. It comes from Plato's
Republic. A student named Glaucon offered the story in response to a lesson by Socrates—who, like Adam Smith,
argued that people are generally good even without enforcement. Glaucon, like Feldman's economist friends,
disagreed. He told of a shepherd named Gyges who stumbled upon a secret cavern with a corpse inside that wore a
ring. When Gyges put on the ring, he found that it made him invisible. With no one able to monitor his behavior,
Gyges proceeded to do woeful things—seduce the queen, murder the king, and so on. Glaucon's story posed a moral
question: could any man resist the temptation of evil if he knew his acts could not be witnessed? Glaucon seemed to
think the answer was no. But Paul Feldman sides with Socrates and Adam Smith—for he knows the answer, at least
87 percent of the time, is yes.
Feldman reaches the conclusion that most people are honest without receiving an incentive by
making a claim about his individual experiences and looking for evidence.
making a broad generalization about morality and looking for evidence.
studying his individual experiences and arriving at a broad generalization.
studying a counterclaim about morality and arriving at a broad generalization.

Read the passage from animal farm. "that was part of the arrangement! " cried squealer. "jones's shot only grazed him. i could show you this in his own writing, if you were able to read it. the plot was for snowball, at the critical moment, to give the signal for flight and leave the field to the enemy. and he very nearly succeeded—i will even say, comrades, he would have succeeded if it had not been for our heroic leader, comrade napoleon. do you not remember how, just at the moment when jones and his men had got inside the yard, snowball suddenly turned and fled, and many animals followed him? and do you not remember, too, that it was just at that moment, when panic was spreading and all seemed lost, that comrade napoleon sprang forward with a cry of 'death to humanity! ' and sank his teeth in jones's leg? surely you remember that, comrades? " exclaimed squealer, frisking from side to side. now when squealer described the scene so graphically, it seemed to the animals that they did remember it. at any rate, they remembered that at the critical moment of the battle snowball had turned to flee. but boxer was still a little uneasy. how does the characterization of squealer support the author’s purpose? squealer's dramatic accusations draw parallels between him and stalin’s propagandists. squealer's uncertainty shows that he is not a reliable ally of napoleon and is ineffective with messaging. squealer's ability to get the animals to listen to him shows that any animal can rise to be a leader in time. squealer's humble interactions with the animals reflect the importance of equality and cooperation.
