Most Strongly SupportedDiff: Medium
Logic Breakdown
Passage Summary: To be happy, you need to feel like people actually need you. Since most jobs can be done by just about anyone, most people only get that 'I'm special' feeling from their family and friends.
Reasoning: Happiness is dependent on feeling needed by others, but in modern society, jobs rarely provide this feeling because workers are easily replaced, leaving personal relationships as the primary source of indispensability.
Analysis: This is a 'Most Strongly Supported' question, so we are looking for a deduction that naturally follows from the provided facts. The stimulus sets up a conditional relationship where happiness requires feeling needed, then notes that the workplace is an unlikely place to find that feeling. Consequently, for a person in modern society to be happy, their personal relationships (family and friends) take on a heightened importance. Look for an answer choice that highlights this reliance on personal circles for emotional fulfillment.
