Question

what information does the following passage mainly convey?
in contemplating the causes which may disturb our union, it occurs as matter of serious concern that any ground should have been furnished characterizing parties by geographical discriminations, northern and southern, atlantic and western; whence designing men may endeavor to excite a belief that there is a real difference of local interests and views. one of the expedients of party to acquire influence within particular districts is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. you cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heartburnings which spring from these misrepresentations; they tend to render alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection.
a. the differences between districts are greater than the similarities.
b. the people who create disunity are mostly working to help others.
c. some people will try to create divisions between districts out of self - interest.
d. party influence is important for rising to become head of a district.

Explanation:

The passage states that one of the ways parties gain influence is by misrepresenting the opinions and aims of other districts. This implies that some people (those in the party) create divisions (through misrepresentation) for their own gain (to acquire influence), which is self - interest.

Answer:

C. Some people will try to create divisions between districts out of self interest.
