If you follow the octet rule, you know that an element must have 8 outside (or valence) electrons to be energetically favorable.
In CCl4, the carbon molecule forms four bonds; one for each chlorine atom. Each bond contains 2 electrons, so it is satisfied.
In PCl3, Phosphorous forms only 3 bonds with chlorine, which means in order to have 8 valence electrons, it also has a lone pair of electrons, not bonded with chlorine.
Now, in CCl4, picture the shape of the molecule like a plus sign, with the carbon in the middle and the chlorine at the four ends. It is symmetrical, and therefore is nonpolar.
In PCl3, the lone pair electrons <em>push</em>, so to speak, the 3 chlorine atoms away, making a T-shaped molecule. Since the chlorine is more electronegative than carbon, the molecule is unbalenced, making it polar.

Answer:
(A)explaining how Marx believed the goals of communism would fix the problems of capitalism.
Explanation:
In the section, "The Necessary Resources", after listing the four resources needed for an economic system to thrive, the author explained the practice of capitalism in the mid-1800s, where people owned private property and how Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels came up with the notion that capitalism did not allow for the fair distribution of resources.
In the section, "Karl Marx and Communism", further explanation was provided as to how Marx felt that capitalism caused a gap between the rich and the poor, how that system was unfair to poorly paid workers and how communism will soon replace capitalism.
