I don't understand this answer either. There is a quote again about dualistic thinkers accepting the generalizations of authority figures. I am beginning to wonder if I am missing part of the text. I don' t see it.

I agree with Matthew. The only context for dualistic thinkers is lines 1-6. I do not see how C can be inferred from this. On the contrary, I believe C is specifically denounced, as dualistic thinkers firmly think they are right.

The description in the answer specifically says Multiplicity thinkers feel C is true. The question asks about dualistic thinkers. Lines 6-8 show that multiplicity thinking comes after dualistic thinking has been broken through.

I completely agree with what the comments above. It seems as if the question is alluding rather to the next stage; "multiplicity"; when thye rightly are not sure about anything.
Whilst in the "dualistic stage"; the world is black-and-white. Thus the "correct" answer must most definitely be wrong...

Hi Asa, Matthew, and Jeremiah, sorry for the late answer. There is an errata here. The solution key should have been B instead of C, and the explanation included a paragraph from the next problem. There was a loading error and we have corrected it to be loaded in the next software update. Our sincere apology for the confusion.
