E .  FJIJ
Answer: Option C
:
C
Look at these lines -
“Contingencies include such things as the social conditions under which we come of age, the condition of our household’s economy, the ideologies available to help us make sense of our situation, and accidental circumstances. The ways in which contingencies affect our individual or group identities create a structure of forces within which we are able to act, and that partially determines the sorts of actions we are able to perform”.
Option (c) is wrong because it says that -
“the effect of the fact that a person lives in a particular community on that person’s decision to visit friends in another community”.
The error is “another community” because he does not know anything about the other community.
The error would have been corrected if the answer would have been -
“the effect of the fact that a person lives in a particular community on that person’s decision (to visit friends in the same community)/(not to visit friends in the same community)”.
