(B).
Choice (A) is incorrect because the passage states that “[i]n a state of
nature … the rich would have great difficulty protecting the property that they
possess.” Even if the rich were to lose their property, nothing indicates that
this property would end up evenly distributed among everyone. Choice (B) is
correct because this is precisely what the sentence cited above says. Choices
(C), (D), and (E) are wrong because they point to Rousseau’s vision for a
perfect society, rather than a pre-law society.
50. “To obtain assent to the contract, the rich focus their rhetoric on a seeming
equality of obligation by creating rules that apply equally to all members of
society.” This sentence from the second paragraph shows the mechanism by
which the wealthy are able to convince the poor to agree to a social contract
that will allow them to be defrauded. Be careful not to go looking in the
passage for specific language mentioned in the question (like “hoarding” or
“systematized”). More often than not, that will lead you to the wrong
sentence.

(A).
Choice (A) is correct because the passage says that people should
only take something if they need it (i.e., for survival). Choice (B) is wrong
because it is the exact opposite of what the passage says, in that people should
not
simply enrich themselves with property. Choice (C) is wrong because
though a house could be protection, that’s not what “subsistence” means.
Choice (D) is wrong because it isn’t specific enough. Choice (E) does not fit
the meaning of the sentence.
