Answer (1)
Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: conditions


Solution : The correct answer to this question is the third option.

Explanation: The word norms in this context refers to the accepted or established standards or patterns of behaviour within a society. The sentence suggests that the established expectations or standards of society dictate their skills, like those of teachers, philosophers, priests, and surgeons mentioned in the passage, have to be compensated or paid for, just like goods purchased in a shop.

Other options, such as obstacles and interferences, do not fit the meaning of the sentence.
