It's a false dichotomy. Here's an exact analogy:

If the 2012 election is inevitable it should further the cause of humanity as exemplified by BO than interests of XYZ?

Here is what is needed before progress can be made on the first question:

1. Who/what is humanity?
2. What are its interests?
3. How are they best served?
4. How are trans-national (phony word, should be international) corporations different from itra-national corporations?
5. How is my local corporation different from intra-national or international corporations?
6. Are business interest inimical to the interests of humanity?

etc.

That I need to point out the deep flaws in the questions on the first page speaks poorly of the critical thinking skills of the tests proponents.
