Question

1. according to the gospel of wealth by andrew carnegie, wealthy individuals had a responsibility to do what?

a. share their wealth with the poor.

b. invest their wealth in profitable ventures.

c. spend their wealth on personal luxuries.

d. keep their wealth within their family.

Explanation:

In Andrew Carnegie's "Gospel of Wealth", the key idea is that wealthy people should use their wealth for the benefit of society, specifically by sharing it with the poor (through philanthropy) rather than hoarding it, spending it on personal luxuries, or just investing for profit without social benefit. Option B is about profitable investments (not the focus of the Gospel of Wealth), C is against the idea (as Carnegie advocated against wasteful personal spending), and D is also against his view (he didn't support keeping wealth in families). So A is correct.

Answer:

A. Share their wealth with the poor.
