TPO13閱讀-Types of Social Groups - 英檢

People are bound within relationships by two types of bonds: expressive ties
and instrumental ties. Expressive ties are social links formed when we
emotionally invest ourselves in and commit ourselves to other people. Through
association with people who are meaningful to us, we achieve a sense of
security, love, acceptance, companionship, and personal worth. Instrumental
ties are social links formed when we cooperate with other people to achieve
some goal. Occasionally, this may mean working with instead of against
competitors. More often, we simply cooperate with others to reach some end
without endowing the relationship with any larger significance.


4. Which of the following can be inferred about instrumental ties from the
author's mention of
working with competitors in paragraph 2?

○ Instrumental ties can develop even in situations in which people would
normally not cooperate.
○ Instrumental ties require as much emotional investment as expressive ties.
○ Instrumental ties involve security, love, and acceptance.
○ Instrumental ties should be expected to be significant.

這題答案是A
我原本是選D
我很明顯知道C、D錯的地方
原本認為不是A是因為 not cooperate,我覺得不是not

後來檢討知道D是錯在More often, we simply cooperate with others to reach some end
without endowing the relationship with any larger significance.

那請問A答案 not cooperate的線索去哪邊找呢?
感謝
