As used in line 34, "society" most closely means

• A. civilization.
• B. culture.
• C. association.
• D. order.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

(C) A good approach to this question is to replace "society" with a simple synonym like company, which is closest to choice (C). The other choices all refer to the alternate meaning of society that refers to an aggregate of people living together under a system of order.
