Based on the following passage from John Ralston’s story, what can we infer? Eventually, John read about a California-based reco
very group called LifeRing. There were no LifeRing meetings in his area of Pennsylvania, so he began to attend “virtual” meetings online and learn all he could about the organization. LifeRing was completely secular, not religious. In contrast to AA’s motto, “One day at a time,” LifeRing’s is, “Don’t drink, no matter what.” That approach appealed to John. “For me, someone who finally wanted to live my life and make plans, I liked the idea that I could look ahead a month, a year, and assume that I’d be sober then,” he said. “And I couldn’t make God my way to be sober.” Question 9 options: there are differences among recovery programs, and no single program is right for everyone. John is planning to move to California. all the people who attend AA meetings should instead go to LifeRing meetings. attending “virtual” meetings via the Internet was not helpful to Joh
A). There are differences among recovery programs, and no single program is right for everyone.
Explanation:
The readers are most likely to infer that 'there are distinctions between the recovery programs offered by AA and LifeRing, and no single program can be right or helpful for everyone.'Each recovery program has its own motto which serves the needs of a specific group of people. Similarly, <u>AA's motto is 'one day at a time' while LifeRing promotes idea of 'don't drink, no matter what.' John's preference for LifeRing over AA suggests the readers that different addicts require different programs to recover</u>. It also makes them infer that 'no single program can serve the needs of everyone.' The other options are irrelevant to the central idea of the passage and therefore, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
