Which of the following is true according to the passage?Power is something we are often uncomfortable naming and talking about explicitly. In our everyday talk, power has a negative moral vibe: “power-mad”, “power-hungry”, “power trip”. But power is no more inherently good or evil than fire or physics. It just is. The only question is whether we will try to understand and harness it. In the culture and mythology of democracy, power is supposed to reside with the people. Here’s my simple definition of power―it’s the capacity to ensure that others do as you would want them to do. Civic power is that capacity exercised by citizens in public, whether in elections or government or in social and economic arenas. Power in civic life takes many forms: force, wealth, state action, ideas, social norms, numbers. And it flows through many conduits: institutions, organizations, networks, laws and rules, narratives and ideologies. Map these forms and conduits against each other, and you get what we think of as “the power structure.” The problem today is that too many people aren’t able to draw, read or follow such a map. Too many people are profoundly illiterate in power. As a result, it has become ever easier for those who do understand how power operates in civic life to wield a disproportionate influence and fill the void created by the ignorance of the majority.

해설
지문과 일치하는 것은 “Relations between the forms and conduits of power help identify its structure.”이다.
“Map these forms and conduits against each other, and you get what we think of as ‘the power structure.’”(이 형태와 통로를 서로 대응시키면 권력 구조를 얻는다)와 내용이 같다.
- “widely welcomed and comfortably discussed”: “something we are often uncomfortable naming”과 반대이다.
- “do not have the right to discuss and harness”: 지문은 권력을 이해하고 “harness”(활용)할지를 묻고 있으며 권리가 없다고 하지 않는다.
- “mainly exercised by officials in the government”: “exercised by citizens in public”이라 했으므로 틀리다.
- “skillfully map the civic power”: “too many people aren’t able to draw, read or follow such a map”과 반대이다.
