Multiple Choice

Which of the following best captures Aristotle's argument in I.1-2 for the claim that there is some highest end?

• B) Some goals are more choiceworthy than others. The most choiceworthy goal is better than all of the others. The best goal is the highest end. Therefore, there is a highest end.
• C) All crafts and inquiries aim at some goal. Some of those goals are pursued for the sake of a further goal. But if all goals were pursued for some further goal, desire would be futile because we would never achieve that which we seek. Therefore, some goal must be pursued for its own sake.
