Question

In their great council at Amaurot, to which there are three sent from every town once a year, they examine what towns abound in provisions and what are under any scarcity, that so the one may be furnished from the other; and this is done freely, without any sort of exchange; for, according to their plenty or scarcity, they supply or are supplied from one another, so that indeed the whole island is, as it were, one family.

The central idea of this excerpt is that Utopians make a regular effort to care for those in need.

Which detail best supports this central idea?

A council is held every year in Amaurot.
Three people from each town are sent to the council.
The council examines the surrounding towns.
Towns with an abundance provide for those with less.

Answer 1

Towns with an abundance provide for those with less.

This detail directly shows they actively supply needy towns, supporting the idea they regularly care for those in need.
