Read the following excerpt from levitt and dubner's freakonomics
there is a tale, "the ring of gyges," that feldman sometimes tells his economist friends. it comes from plato's
republic. a student named glaucon offered the story in response to a lesson by socrates-who, like adam smith,
argued that people are generally good even without enforcement. glaucon, like feldman's economist friends,
disagreed. he told of a shepherd named gyges who stumbled upon a secret cavern with a corpse inside that wore a
ring. when gyges put on the ring, he found that it made him invisible. with no one able to monitor his behavior,
gyges proceeded to do woeful things-seduce the queen, murder the king, and so on. glaucon's story posed a moral
question: could any man resist the temptation of evil if he knew his acts could not be witnessed? glaucon seemed to
think the answer was no.
the excerpt serves as which of the following in relation to the authors' argument?
a claim that most people are moral
an example of morality in the workplace
a conclusion about morality in the workplace
a counterclaim to the idea that most people are moral

The answer is: a counterclaim to the idea that most people are moral

Explanation:

The center of this excerpt is a tale of originating from Plato`s book Republic. In this tale Socrates who was Plato`s teacher claimed people are generally good, however, one of his students Glaucon claimed the opposite.

The central part of this tale is Glaucon`s explanation of his counterclaim with the moral question arising from this, so the author paraphrases this story emphasizing its counterclaim to the idea of the people`s morality.

to whom may it may concern;

i have recently ordered a product from your online shop. the shipping details read that my order would be delivered by the 8th of december, whereas it was delivered the 13th. i needed the package for a christmas exchange. 

since i paid for overnight shipping, but did not receive the package in the time allotted, i am kindly asking for a refund. the product was just perfect, but i do not believe i should have to pay for a quick shipping if it came late.

you for your time, i hope to hear from you soon.

sincerely,

john smith
