Good sense is, of all things among men, the most equally distributed; for everyone thinks himself so abundantly provided with it, that even those who are the most difficult to satisfy in everything else, do not usually desire a larger measure of this quality than they already possess. And in this it is not likely that all are mistaken; the conviction is rather to be held as testifying that the power of judging aright and of distinguishing truth from error, which is properly what is called good sense or reason, is by nature equal in all men; and that the diversity of our opinions, consequently, does not arise from some being endowed with a larger share of reason than others, but solely from this, that we conduct our thoughts along different ways, and do not fix our attention on the same objects.
For to be possessed of a vigorous mind is not enough; the prime requisite is to apply it rightly. The greatest minds, as they are capable of the highest excellences, are open likewise to the greatest aberrations; and those who travel very slowly may yet make far greater progress, provided they keep always to the straight road, than those who, while they run, forsake it.

The passage says:
“The greatest minds, as they are capable of the highest excellences, are open likewise to the greatest aberrations.”
This means great minds can achieve great things but are also capable of great errors.
The talk of the town here is A vs B.
(A) This is incorrect, the passage says even great minds can go astray.
(B) This is correct, “open likewise to the greatest aberrations” means they are capable of making mistakes.
(C) Incorrect, the passage says reason is equally distributed.
(D) This is not stated in the passage.
(E) Out of scope; the passage doesn’t say “most” do so.
Answer: B
