Consider that some groups are defined as "cults"; members of these extremist sects generally live communally and obey an authoritarian, charismatic leader. Assume that all cults have fewer than 100 members. This information would tend to weaken the passage's assertions about the:

A. ability of great orators to sway large groups.

B. loss of personality and sense of responsibility.

C. difficulties involved in convening large assemblies.

D. reasonableness of small groups compared to large groups.

    Reasonableness of small groups compared to large groups.

    Option D.

    Explanation:

    The assertion made in the passage about the power of the authoritarian ruler becomes weak as the information about the cults clarifies that each cult has less than 100 members. Smaller membership counts of the cults limits the influence of the leader and clearly reduces the influence of the entire cult. The influence of a cult with a great number of members would at any given time be higher than the influence of the cult with a very few members.
