Most Strongly SupportedDiff: Hardest
Logic Breakdown
Passage Summary: Every society divides up work. People get respect based on their jobs, and this respect represents what the society values. If new technology gets rid of those jobs, the society's values get shaken up.
Conclusion: The introduction of labor-saving technology that eliminates economic roles often weakens the values of a social system.
Reasoning: Social systems rely on economic roles, and the prestige of those roles is how the system's values are expressed.
Analysis: This is a Most Strongly Supported question, so we should treat the stimulus as a set of premises that lead to a logical inference. The argument creates a chain: economic roles determine prestige, and prestige embodies values. Therefore, if technology removes the roles, it logically disrupts the prestige and the values tied to them. Look for an answer that stays within this specific chain of logic without introducing outside concepts like economic collapse or total social chaos.
