Question

Which statement provides a critique of the central idea?
Central idea: The Utopians distribute resources evenly among towns.
The Utopians make sure every town has equal amounts of all things.
By making less desirable items out of gold, the Utopians effectively prevent people from becoming greedy.
Distributing resources evenly is impractical because it discourages people from working hard and providing for themselves.
The society of Utopia is unlikely to exist outside of More’s imagination.

Answer 1

"Distributing resources evenly is impractical because it discourages people from working hard and providing for themselves."

This directly critiques the central idea by arguing a practical drawback and negative consequence of equal distribution.
