___________
- Lines 48-50 and 38-39 directly contradict this. The author cares mainly about how many lives we can save.
- CORRECT. Lines 9-13 support this. Voluntariness is a difference between expert judgments and regular judgments. Experts care about lives saved, regular people care whether an activity was voluntary.
- The passage never says what other risks airline passengers face, apart from crashes.
- The whole point of the passage is that voluntariness is not a useful concept. The author doesn’t care whether or how we decide that something is voluntary.
- Lines 21-25 touch on this. The author doesn’t give an exhaustive opinion on what risks are completely involuntary. They only mention asteroid risks – there could be other involuntary risks as well.
