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?
c
O a claim that most people are moral

Read the passage from a vindication of the rights of woman. that the society is formed in the wisest manner, whose constitution is founded on the nature of man, strikes, in the abstract, every thinking being so forcibly, that it looks like presumption to endeavour to bring forward proofs; though proof must be brought, or the strong hold of prescription will never be forced by reason; yet to urge prescription as an argument to justify the depriving men (or women) of their natural rights, is one of the absurd sophisms which daily insult common sense. does wollstonecraft maintain an objective tone in the passage? yes, because she uses objective language such as “society is formed in the wisest manner.” yes, because she uses objective language such as “it looks like presumption to endeavor.” no, because she uses subjective language such as “though proof must be brought, or the strong hold.” no, because she uses subjective language such as “absurd sophisms which daily insult common sense.”
