The following is an excerpt from the book that Winston gets from O'Brien. Choose the option that is the best SUMMARY of the excerpt:
From the Proletarians nothing is to be feared . . . They could only become dangerous if the advance of industrial technique made it necessary to educate them more highly; but, since military and commercial rivalry are no longer important, the level of popular education is actually declining.

A. The working class is not a danger to the government because they are not well-educated.
B. The only way the Proletarians could be a threat to the government would be if they were better educated. But since world-wide socialism has eliminated competition in the military and in business, there is no need to educate them.
I'm pretty sure the answer is B because to me its the only one that makes sense.
