If, on the other hand, it turns into a mere crusade of appetite against appetite, of a contest between the brutal greed of the "

have nots" and the brutal greed of the "haves," then it has no significance for good, but only for evil. If it seeks to establish a line of cleavage, not along the line which divides good men from bad, but along that other line, running at right angles thereto, which divides those who are well off from those who are less well off, then it will be fraught with immeasurable harm to the body politic.
What is emphasized by the use of "brutal" to describe "greed" in the third paragraph?
A) It emphasizes how cruel greed can be.
B) It emphasizes how benign greed can be.
Eliminate
C) It emphasizes how temperate greed can be.
