Read the passage from a text by an ancient Greek biographer named Plutarch.Some wicked men are rich, some good are poor, We will not change our virtue for their store: Virtue's a thing that none can take away; But money changes owners all the day.–Solon,quoted in "Solon,”Plutarch
Answer
A
Money should not determine who participates in the government.
B
Money should not be taken away from people who commit crimes.
C
Wealthy people should not have a say in government because they are bad.
D
Merchants should not be in government because they exchange money all day.
Explanation
Solon contrasts wealth, which can change hands, with virtue, which cannot be taken away. The passage suggests that a person's wealth is not a reliable measure of their character or worth. Therefore, money should not determine who participates in government; choice A best expresses this idea.
