The dialogue provides the most support for the claim that Nick and Pedro disagree over whether
loyalty should sometimes be a consideration in making business decisions
the Pincus family and their construction company donated money for the purpose of acquiring special privileges from the university
the acceptance of donations places a university under a special obligation to the donor
the university should be more grateful to donors with a long history of financial support than to new donors
the Pincus family's construction company did not make the most competitive bid
