  4. Hegel emphasized ideas, whereas Marx highlighted economics.
  5. Hegel believed in dialectics, while Marx rejected them.
Explanation
Answer: D - One of the key differences between Marx and Hegel was that Marx felt that economics generated change, whereas Hegel believed that ideas were essential. Marx was quite influenced by Hegel, and both thinkers accepted the role of the dialectic. While Marx criticized industrialism and highlighted the change since the days when agriculture dominated, he wanted to reform industrialism rather than revert to agriculture.
