Read the paragraph. Then answer the question that follows.

Perhaps you wanted pizza for dinner, but was out voted by the rest of the family who wanted chili. This is similar to what happens in a community. One person has to give up a right for the good of the group. Sometimes citizens' duties and rights conflict with each other. A good example is a public protest. People have the right to meet in groups and share ideas. However, a protest can disrupt traffic or other normal activities. A city must provide extra police protection to keep people safe. Therefore, the city has the right to require permission in advance for a protest. Government must make laws to balance the rights of individuals and different groups of people.

How is the example of a public protest similar to the family dinner vote?

    B). Both show conflict between the rights of individuals and groups.

    Explanation:

    The illustration of the public protest, as well as the family dinner, are alike as they both display how common interests of people are above the individual interests. The 'common' interests are given priority as they function to safeguard the rights of the majority without endangering the individuals.

    The 'democratic elections' are held to assess the individual opinions of the people in the society but the majority determines that 'who would represent them' and therefore, it seems that 'One person has to give up a right for the good of the group.' But it doesn't imply that individual opinions don't matter but rather that 'they contribute in the majority' as the individuals collectively form a group and thus, every opinion matters. Conclusively, it implies that this conflict resolves with the 'common/majority' good being given the priority over the individual interests. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
