GS-1 Verbal Reasoning Question 29

[li5504552]

What is wrong with point I, isn't this stated in second paragraph?

Thanks.

If you read paragraph 2 carefully, the author is not saying that the fact that there are more selves is a limitation but rather he says "there appear to be more selves" to suggest that this is the reality which always existed but in the past we called those "selves" simply "scientists." Also, the idea of the limitations of anthropology is first discussed in paragraph 3.

Reading paragraph 2 carefully, I do not see the implication that selves have always existed, just by another name. To the contrary, choice I seems plausible because of the statements that 1) there appear to be more selves now, 2) the self-person cannot be objective, and 3) the "limitations" explicitly refer to limitations concerning anthropology as "objective inquiry."

Regarding choice III, how do you justify that the political implications are limitations when the author brushes past the politics criticism by saying that it's a concern of the relationship between peoples, not the relationship between individuals (which is the relationship relevant to anthropology)?

Maybe political implications are a limitation, but I thought C to be a better answer.
