"Man is by nature a social and political animal, living amid a multitude of
his kind; more so, indeed, than is the case with all other animals, which natural
necessity itself makes clear. for nature prepares for other animals their food, their covering of fur, their means of defense...For man, however, none of these were provided by nature, but instead of all of these reason was given to him, by which, through the labor of his hands, he would be able to fashion for himself all these things, but for the fashioning of which one man alone would not suffice. . . it is, therefore, natural for man that he live in the companionship of many of his kind."
Why is it stated that man is naturally inclined to live in the companionship of many of his kind?
a) Because man is inherently social
b) Because other animals provide for their own needs
c) Because nature provides for all of man's needs
d) Because man lacks the ability to live alone
