D) the divine right theory.

Text: []“…for what justice is there in this: that a nobleman, a goldsmith, a banker, or any other man, that either does nothing at all, or, at best, is employed in things that are of no use to the public, should live in great luxury and splendour upon what is so ill acquired, and a mean man, a carter, a smith, or a ploughman, that works harder even than the beasts themselves, and is employed in labours so necessary, that no commonwealth could hold out a year without them, can only earn so poor a livelihood and must lead so miserable a life, that the condition of the beasts is much better than theirs? ”
- from Utopia, Sir Thomas More, 1551[]

Answer 1

Answer:

B economic inequality

Explanation:

Economic inequality  can refer to either income distribution (measuring the amount of money people are paid) or the distribution of wealth (the amount of wealth people own). Besides economic inequality between countries or states, there are important types of economic inequality between different groups of people. In the excerpt it talks about how the people who do the least and are over the people are the ones that are esteemed and payed more. However, the people that actually deserve that are the ones in the slums. Also, that's the answer I chose lol.

Answer 2

In the excerpt, Sir Thomas More argues against B) economic inequality.

Thomas More's Utopia deals with creating a middle ground that marries the ideal with reality.

Thomas More used the book to condemn all forms of greed and corruption. He advocated against political struggles which have created wealth inequality, slavery, and injustice.  Though he noted that a Utopian society presupposes perfection, he recognized that it was not practical.

Thus, Utopia differentiates workers from others whose livings are assured through the workers' sweat to decry the inherent injustices in the system.
