Question

\this, then, is held to be the duty of the man of wealth: to set an example... to consider all surplus revenues which come to him simply as trust funds, which he is called upon to administer, and strictly bound as a matter of duty to administer in the manner which, in his judgment, is best calculated to produce the most beneficial results for the community - the man of wealth thus becoming the mere trustee and agent for his poorer brethren, bringing to their service his superior wisdom, experience, and ability to administer, doing for them better than they would or could do for themselves.\ - andrew carnegie, the gospel of wealth, 1900
\millionaires fortunes are the unnatural product of artificial social regulations and that they have no beneficent raison dêtre... millionaires at one end of the scale involve paupers at the other end, and even so excellent a man as mr. carnegie is too dear at that price.\ - the reverend hugh price hughes, 1891
the phrase raison dêtre translates to mean \the reason for which a person exists.\ after reading the two quotes, who believed that the existence of wealth created a superior person who had the power to control the community better?
a carnegie
b rev hughes
c the working class
d the man of wealth

Explanation:

Carnegie's quote emphasizes that the wealthy man is a trustee and agent for the community, using his superior wisdom, experience, and ability to administer surplus revenues for the community's benefit. This shows he believes wealth creates a superior person with power to control the community better. Hughes, on the other hand, criticizes millionaires' fortunes as an unnatural product with no beneficent reason for existence. The working class and the poor of society are not mentioned in the context of believing wealth creates a superior controller.

Answer:

A. Carnegie
