George Bernard Shaw wrote:"That any sane nation,having observed that you could provide for the supply of bread by giving bakers a pecuniary interest in baking for you, should go on to give a surgeon a pecuniary interest in cutting off your leg is enough to make one despair of political humanity."

Shaw's statement would best serve as an illustration in an argument criticizing which of the following?

a.Dentists who perform unnecessary dental work in order to earn a profit.

b.Doctors who increase their profits by specializing only in deases that affect a large percentage of the population.

c.Grocers who raise the price of food in order to increase their profit margins.

d.Oil companies that decrease the price of their oil in order to increase their market share.

e.Bakers and surgeons who earn a profit by supplying other peoples' basic needs.

why not E?

I think the argument is saying that you have to pay for what your are sufferring, for example, pay your sergeons for your missing leg and pay for your basic needs of bread . It is about the working ethics.

我做的时候也选了E，答案说是A，还是不明白所以然啊，怎么会扯到dentists的？

这道题是类比吧，类比内容要求相似性，也就是说类似题干中，说为了给人民提供面包救济穷人，政府要给面包师甜头；类似地，给外科医生好处就是提供他们更多砍腿的机会；这是政治上无人性的做法。a选项提供的类比类似地：通过做多余的事来挣钱。

different opinion

bread supply and treatment for the patient are not the things mentioned in choice A, uncessary work. They are the basic needs from people.
