6) In terms of practical application, which of the following statement is true of the intrinsic and instrumental views of freedom? a) The intrinsic view is much easier to reflect than the instrumental view, since our direct observations relate to what was chosen and achieved. b) There is no real loss involved in using the capability approach in the reduced form if the intrinsic view of freedom is taken. c) For the instrumental view of freedom, there is loss in the reduced form in using the capability approach as a presentation of the capability set as such is important. d) All of the above e) None of the above
2) The capability approach was rooted in which of the following economists’ thinking?
a) Aristotle

c) Karl Marx
d) All of the above
e) None of the above
5) Which of the following statement is true regarding the discussion of the intrinsic and the
instrumental views of freedom?
a) If freedom is seen as being only instrumentally important, then the alternative combinations
available for choice are all relevant for judging a person's advantage.
b) If freedom is intrinsically important, then the interest in the capability set lies only in the fact
that it offers the person opportunities to achieve various valuable states.
c) With the instrumental view, the capability one is valued only for the sake of the best
alternative available for choice, which is called "elementary evaluation".
d) If freedom is intrinsically valued, the elementary evaluation will be applied as the
opportunity to choose other alternatives is insignificant.

intrinsic view of freedom is taken.
