I’m not entirely sure because there was no text to read in order for me to find an exact answer. However, if I had to guess based on the subject and the quality of the sentences written I would go with B or D, in that order.
The other two (A, C) are suggesting that altruism is not ever really done out of sheer empathy (they take a negative, or pessimistic point of view. Some might even call it realistic), and that anything done “for the good of others” always has an ulterior motive; be it power, likability, future wealth, or something that would benefit they and theirs in the soon to bear future). Essentially, no one does ANYTHING out of sheer good will and kindness. Thus, why not do things anonymously without flaunting their name about? Why? Because by telling everyone so-and-so donated X amount of dollars to said people or organizations, now it is KNOWN how generous they are, which immediately makes them likable or popular.
However, without having read the text, I believe, whether people believe it or not - there is still an element of “pure altruism” given in some folks. SOME people are able to not care for anything of themselves, but only to the cause which they are giving. I also believe whole- heartedly, whether it’s true or not , selflessness to some capacity is essential to human survival, and humans HAVE empathy built into our core being, so it is entirely possible. That, of course, is just an educated (hopeful) guess.
I think the correct answer is b. I hope this helps.
<span>The correct answer is A. Both of these works involve the danger of scientific advancement without ethics.
In The Island of Dr. Moreau, Moreau performs experiments without concern for the pain he inflicts on his subjects. To Moreau, scientific advancement is more important than ethics.
The same is true in The Invisible Man. Here, Griffin also performs experiments without concern for the ethics involved. He soon starts stealing to fund his experiments and plans to inflict a "Reign of Terror" on the country.
Both Moreau and Griffin believe their work is more important than the pain these experiments cause themselves and others. As a result, a common theme in each work is the danger of scientific advancement without ethics.</span>
