Which of the following best fits in the blank?
Suppose that we have an issue where the majority favors one policy, but the minority, which favors a different policy, cares much more strongly about it than the majority. Cases of this kind occur quite often. The fox-hunting debate may be a good example. Most people hold fairly negative views about fox-hunting, even if they do not hold strong moral views about the rights of animals. They see it as an archaic, snobbish, and generally distasteful spectacle; given the chance, they would vote to ban it. The fox-hunters themselves are a small minority, but they mostly feel very strongly that they should be allowed to continue hunting. It is an important social event in many rural communities, and people’s livelihoods depend on it. A political judgement about fox-hunting ought to consider not only the number of preferences on either side, but also the strength of those preferences. It does not seem right that a lukewarm majority should in all cases              a passionate minority.

deceive

respect

follow

protect

override

빈칸에는 “override”(압도하다, 뒤엎다)가 들어가야 한다.
지문은 정치적 판단이 선호의 수뿐 아니라 “the strength of those preferences”(선호의 강도)도 고려해야 한다고 주장한다. 그러므로 미지근한 다수가 언제나 열정적인 소수를 눌러서는 안 된다는 결론이 이어진다.
“deceive”(속이다): 다수결 표결의 문제이지 속임수의 문제가 아니다.
“respect”(존중하다): 다수가 소수를 존중하는 것은 옳지 않다고 말할 일이 아니어서 논지와 반대된다.
“follow”(따르다): 다수가 소수를 따르는 상황은 지문이 우려하는 바가 아니다.
“protect”(보호하다): 소수 보호가 옳지 않다는 뜻이 되어 논지와 반대된다.
