Study Questions 

Answering these multiple response questions will help you to understand the arguments from this chapter. Each question corresponds to, and will help you answer, a study question in the textbook. 

Choose the statements that should be included in a good answer to the question. The computer will suggest correct answers, but the judgment that a statement should be included is sometimes debatable; if you disagree with the suggested answers, formulate in your mind why you disagree, and answer the study question in the way you think best.
