Question

based on the switch in point of view from we to i, what point is rand trying to make about individualism? individualism is achieved only through complete isolation from others. individualism is better than collective or group thinking. individualism is important, but it can be dangerous if followed to an extreme. individualism is harmful to society because it emphasizes self - interest.

Explanation:

Ayn Rand is known for promoting individualism. The switch from "we" (collective) to "I" (individual) implies a preference for individual over collective thinking. The first option is incorrect as Rand’s individualism isn’t about isolation. The third option’s "dangerous if extreme" goes against her positive view of individualism. The fourth option is wrong as she sees individualism as beneficial, not harmful. The second option aligns with her stance that individual (I) thinking is better than collective (we) thinking.

Answer:

B. Individualism is better than collective or group thinking.
