Question
Altruism is the human concern for the wellbeing of others. Altruism has been shown to be motivated more by social bonding, familiarity and identification of belongingness to a group. The notion that altruism may be attributed to empathy or guilt has now been rejected. Which one of the following is the CORRECT logical inference based on the information in the above passage?
Options :
Humans engage in altruism due to guilt but not empathy
Humans engage in altruism due to group identification but not empathy
Human engage in altruism due to empathy but not guilt.
Human engage in altruism due to empathy but not familiarity.
Answer :
Humans engage in altruism due to group identification but not empathy
Solution :
Option (A), can not be inferred as here guilty and empathy are used in opposite tone but in passage they
are used in similar tone.
Option (B), can be inferred as it is clearly mentioned the term ‘due to group identification but not
empathy’.
Option (C), can not be inferred as in this option again empathy and guilty are used in different tone.
Option (D), can not be inferred as in this option familiarity is used in negative tone and in passage it is
given in positive tone.
Hence, the correct option is (B).
