Inferring the consequences of educational inequalities
Question
When we meet other people while we travel, we learn to differentiate between
Options
imagination and understanding
communities and nationalities
local values and universal values
friends and foes
Explanation
The text directly uses a merchant metaphor to show how travel exposes a person to "what is parochial and what is universal in his choice". It goes on to explain that fundamental values (justice, love, honor) are valid everywhere but molded differently across regions. "Parochial" is a direct vocabulary synonym for local/narrow framing, meaning travel helps us distinguish between what is purely a local variation and what is a universal value[cite: 1537, 1538].
Answer: (c).
