Questions 5 and 6 are based on the following reading passage.


       One of the principal themes of Walzer's critique of
       liberal capitalism is that it is insufficiently egalitarian.
       Walzer's case against the economic inequality generated by
       capitalism and in favor of "a radical redistribution of
5     wealth" is presented in a widely cited essay entitled "In
       Defense of Equality." The most striking feature of Walzer's
       critique is that, far from rejecting the principle of reward
       according to merit, Walzer insists on its validity.
       eople who excel should receive the superior
10 benefits appropriate to their excellence. But people
       exhibit a great variety of qualities—"intelligence, physical
       strength, agility and grace, artistic creativity,
       mechanical skill, leadership, endurance, memory,
       psychological insight, the capacity for hard
15 work—even moral strength, sensitivity, the ability
       to express compassion."Each deserves its proper
       recompense, and hence a proper distribution of material
       goods should reflect human differences as measured on
       all these different scales. Yet, under capitalism, the ability
20 to make money ("the green thumb of bourgeois society") enables
       its possessor to acquire almost "every other sort of social good,"
       such as the respect and esteem of others.


For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply
5.The passage provides sufficient information to

□C Which are the social goods that are, according
