Question 3,
(A)
Global power relations are too complex to be effectively explained in terms of a single variable.Author agrees with this as inferred from the following excerpt:
Quote:
...On a theoretical level, it may be useful to strip away these concepts to more closely examine certain other dynamics at work, but the Marxist view often fails to describe what actually happens in the real world....
Correct(B)
The Marxist view of global relations should be abandoned because of its failures to accurately describe the world.Since it is not explicitly mentioned in the passage.
Incorrect(C)
The economies of China, Russia, and Korea will eventually transition to fully fledged capitalism.Not mentioned in the passage, hence we can't be sure about this.
Incorrect(D)
Marx’s followers have misrepresented his work in an effort to apply his economic ideas to a global setting.[/b]This implies
all followers misrepresented his work, which is not mentioned in the passage which only limits the information to
Quote:
...it has been said that no thinker has ever had his words more badly misrepresented, by supporters and detractors alike, than Karl Marx....
Incorrect(E)
Any view of global relationships must include concepts of nationalism, security, and the state in order to accurately describe the world.The phrase, "must include" makes it a necessity for every global relationship to have the mentioned characteristics to accurately describe the world. But we are only limited to the following information regarding this:

hi
SajjadAhmadWhen I tried this question, my decision was between A and D. Can you please explain why #3, choice D has an incorrect meaning? In the first paragraph, the author mentions global power relations; in the second, balance of power on a global level; in the third, world capitalist system. It seemed like these are all in line to D's wording, "a globlal setting".
Also, can you please explain why #4 is not D?
Thank you!
