Read the excerpt from an interview with Peter Drucker.Giving money is basically passive. In the parable of the good Samaritan, the important thing is that the Samaritan went back the next day, to make sure that the victim was treated well. He wasn’t just giving money; he was giving care. Lots of people give money; he gave care, he did something. Social entrepreneurs are not satisfied with just giving money. —"A Passion for Performance,” Philanthropy Magazine
Answer
A
by spending free time delivering meals to people who are confined to their homes
B
by becoming a paying member of the city’s symphony orchestra
C
by donating money when asked by the cashier at a checkout counter
D
by contributing part of a paycheck to an employer’s campaign for medical research
Explanation
Drucker contrasts passive giving money with actively giving care and doing something to help. Delivering meals to people who are confined to their homes takes personal time and directly cares for them. The other choices involve financial contributions or membership, so they do not show the same hands-on involvement.
