Paragraph 2：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.


答案是(A)

不過就這段來說

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.

完全看不到(A)提到的would normally not cooperate.

(A)到底是哪裡對阿 很神奇耶 ~"~
