Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The text acknowledges that people often rely on emotion to guide decision making and indicates that this can sometimes be a good idea. Therefore, option C is the best choice. Both A and D are incorrect as they suggest that relying on emotion for decision making is always, or invariably, a bad idea. Option B is too ambiguous, as it suggests that relying on emotion for decision making is sometimes good, but does not address the possibility that it could also be a bad idea.
