Big Book Text Completion (TC) question T3 S5 p134

[Hem]

This is question 4 from the Test 3, Section 5, page 134.
I recognized that this is a ‘logic word fill in’ type question. The correct answer is C however I marked D because of the following thought process:
There are voting systems and opposite parties in politics who ‘compete’ for being in power. This is done to supposedly increase accountability and a penchant for doing good in order to survive.
Hence I thought politics as a ‘contest’ would make Semantic sense.

Could someone help me pinpoint the mistake in my process?
Thanking you in advance!!

There are voting systems and opposite parties in politics who ‘compete’ for being in power. This is done to supposedly increase accountability and a penchant for doing good in order to survive.
Hence I thought politics as a ‘contest’ would make Semantic sense.

While this is true, none of this is found in the sentence.

What is the significance of this part “systematic organization of common hatreds.” ?

Think whether this part can be used to narrow it down.

[Hem]

That makes sense. I guess I got thrown off by ‘common hatred’ and started storytelling.

Thank you Joan!
