16. Philosopher: Nations are not literally persons; they have no thoughts or feelings, and, literally speaking, they perform no actions. Thus they have no moral rights or responsibilities. But no nation can survive unless many of its citizens attribute such rights and responsibilities to it, for nothing else could prompt people to make the sacrifices national citizenship demands. Obviously, then, a nation _______. Which one of the following most logically completes the philosopher’s argument?


Вариант ответа 1 - (A) cannot continue to exist unless something other than the false belief that the nation has moral rights motivates its citizens to make sacrifices

Вариант ответа 2 - (B) cannot survive unless many of its citizens have some beliefs that are literally false

Вариант ответа 3 - (C) can never be a target of moral praise or blame

Вариант ответа 4 - (D) is not worth the sacrifices that its citizens make on its behalf

Вариант ответа 5 - (E) should always be thought of in metaphorical rather than literal terms
