PrepTest 93+, Section 2, Question 6
Democratic societies in which there is widespread discontent more often blame their politicians than they do other powerful figures who are at least as responsible for those societies' woes. This is not primarily because politicians are more familiar to people than are other powerful figures; rather it is because people in democratic societies feel that they have more power over politicians than they have over other powerful figures.

The case described above best illustrates which one of the following generalizations?
Often the people who have the most power in a society are not the people who are generally perceived by the public as having the most power.
People tend to ascribe more power to a person with whom they are familiar than to one with whom they are unfamiliar.
To the extent that a person is well known to the public, that person is more likely to be blamed for the woes of society.
Publicly known people are usually not held sufficiently responsible for the problems they cause.
People are more inclined to blame a publicly known person if that person is someone over whom they feel they have power.
