Question 2 • 670201 World History S1 – MYERS, JOSHUA A

Which line from the text provides evidence that the author is comparing and contrasting the ideas of Plato and Aristotle?

Answer
A
“Many of the framers at Philadelphia had studied and understood Plato’s and Aristotle’s political philosophies.”
B
“A few years after losing the war with Sparta, Athens put the 70-year-old Socrates on trial for not accepting the gods of Athens.”
C
“The Constitution further limits the powers of the government by listing its powers: The government may not exercise any power beyond those listed.”
D
“Like Plato, Aristotle, wrote extensively on the subjects of tyranny and the rule of law.”

Explanation

The phrase “Like Plato” directly compares Aristotle with Plato by noting that both wrote extensively about tyranny and the rule of law. The other choices mention both thinkers only in passing or discuss unrelated events and constitutional powers. Choice D is the clearest evidence that the author is comparing their ideas.
