We are looking for the answer choice that cannot be true.
The philosopher states that the rational pursuit of happiness is quite different from always doing what one most strongly desires to do. We are told that "desires are sometimes compulsions," and that "compulsions strongly drive a person to pursue goals that offer no happiness even when reached."
So, since some desires are compulsions, it must be true that some desires strongly drive a person to pursue goals that offer no happiness even when reached.
Answer choice (B) states: "Attaining the goal of any desire results in momentary happiness."
We know this cannot be true because SOME desires are compulsions, and desires drive a person to pursue goals that offer no happiness. Thus, ALL desires will not result in momentary happiness. Answer choice (B) cannot be true.
Hope that helps! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
