Problem 16 - Entrance Test

The ancient philosopher argued that true happiness stemmed not from material possessions but from the cultivation of _____ virtues, such as wisdom, courage, and justice.

Correct: C

'Intrinsic' means belonging naturally; essential. The passage contrasts material possessions with internal qualities of character, thus intrinsic fits best. Extrinsic means external, ephemeral means short-lived, and ostentatious means showy.
