Question ID:PT42 S4 Q2 Passage:Economist: Some sociologists argue that because capitalism intrinsically involves competition, it weakens the ties between the people of a community. Although this may formerly have been true, modern capitalism requires that there be large corporations. Thus, modern capitalism promotes, rather than weakens, communal ties. Stem:Which one of the following is an assumption on which the economist's argument depends? Correct Answer Choice:DChoice A:Few economic systems are more successful than modern capitalism in fostering communal ties between citizens.

Choice C:Corporations that compete with each other must develop some ties to each other in order to reach agreement on the rules of the competition. Choice D:Having large corporations in a modern capitalist system promotes the strength of communal ties. Choice E:An economic system that does not encourage large corporations will be less successful economically than one that does.
