Which of the following best fits in the blank?
How many people hold power in a society and how they exercise it are eternal themes of political debate. At one extreme a single person rules. Such a system is usually called a monarchy (Greek for ‘rule by one’) when the position can be inherited within a family. It is likely to be given such names as tyranny (from examples in Greek history) or dictatorship (from Rome) when power is seized by or granted to an individual member of society. The other extreme is democracy (Greek for ‘power of the people’), in which theoretically every adult can influence group decisions. Such an egalitarian approach is familiar to anthropologists, studying the customs of small tribal groups, but it has been a rarity in more developed societies. Between the two extremes is oligarchy (Greek for ‘rule by a few’). In a sense all early clashes between oligarchy and democracy are an argument over ________________________, with democrats pressing for a higher figure than oligarchs can accept. Even in Athens, where sophisticated democracy begins, only a small proportion of the community can vote.

where to start the most sophisticated society

how to build a more developed society

when and where to stop the monarchy

who will seize the power in Athens

how many to include in the few

빈칸에는 “how many to include in the few”(그 소수에 몇 명을 포함할 것인가)가 알맞다.
뒤따르는 “with democrats pressing for a higher figure than oligarchs can accept”(민주파는 과두파가 받아들일 수 있는 것보다 높은 수를 요구했다)에서 논쟁의 핵심이 권력 참여자의 수임을 알 수 있다.
“where to start the most sophisticated society”는 장소의 문제로, “figure”(수)와 연결되지 않는다.
“how to build a more developed society”는 사회 발전 방법으로, 지문의 쟁점이 아니다.
“when and where to stop the monarchy”는 군주제가 대상이지만 빈칸의 논쟁은 과두제와 민주제 사이의 것이다.
“who will seize the power in Athens”는 누가 권력을 잡느냐의 문제로, 인원수를 둘러싼 논쟁이 아니다.
