The man preaches egalitarianism without matching it up with action?
Answer Details
The option nearest in meaning to the underlined word "egalitarianism" is "equality." Egalitarianism is the belief in the principle of equality among all people, especially in political, social, or economic terms. In this sentence, the man is said to be preaching egalitarianism, which means he is advocating for equality, but not taking any action to support this belief. Therefore, the correct option is "equality." The other options do not fit this sentence because they do not convey the same meaning as "egalitarianism."
