Socially responsible

@muhammad-sharief, "Socially responsible" as used in the passage means "a force for good in society." The last sentence makes a key distinction between small and large businesses, as it tells us that most people see small businesses as a force for good in society, whereas they see big businesses as socially responsible only in times of prosperity. From this, we can infer that "socially responsible" is being used as another way of saying "a force for good in society." (E) says, "Many people in the United States regard the social responsibility of big business as extending beyond providing consumers with fairly priced goods and services." "Extending" here means going beyond. The reason this answer is most strongly supported by the passage is because we're told that big and small businesses both provide fairly priced goods and services. However, we're also told that they're perceived differently. The fact that they're perceived differently suggests that the socially responsible framework from which most people look at big businesses has to factor in more things than simply fairly priced goods and services. If being socially responsible was only about having fairly priced goods and services, then big businesses would be perceived by most people as being socially responsible all of the time and not just in times of prosperity. Does this make sense? Let us know if you have any more questions!4

I'm still struggling to understand what "extending beyond providing consumers with with fairly priced goods and services." Is this a some/most passage in which we have two "most" statements with the left side in common and can therefore make a deduction?
