Explanation
★The correct matching pairs the rule of the knowledgeable with Aristotle, the abolition of exploitation with Marx, equal basic liberties with Rawls, and women's citizenship with Wollstonecraft, so the answer is I-c, II-d, III-b, IV-a.
★Aristotle held that those who know about politics, the wise and virtuous, should rule, the core of his aristocratic ideal.
★Karl Marx argued that real freedom requires abolishing the exploitation and class oppression of capitalism.
★John Rawls, in A Theory of Justice of 1971, made equal basic liberties the first principle of justice as fairness.
★Mary Wollstonecraft, in A Vindication of the Rights of Woman of 1792, demanded equal rights and citizenship for women.
★The pairings the exam recycles are Rawls with the difference principle, Marx with historical materialism, and Wollstonecraft as a founder of liberal feminism.
