Answer choices, explained

1. A

   Bad Brad Match5% picked this

   One should always do what will produce the most benefit for

   This would help Rhonda argue that we should be charitable givers, but it doesn't really help Brad argue that we should help family/friends. Technically, neither person argued based on "maximizing benefit for others".

2. B

   Bad Rhonda Match5% picked this

   One should treat others as one expects to be treated

   Brad's argument consists of some reciprocity: you help them now, and they'll remember and help you out when you need it. Rhonda's, though, does not say you should give to others because they will give back to you. She says do it because it leads to a richer life.

3. C

   Correct78% picked this

   One should act in ways that will

   Why this is right

   What a silly-simple moral principle: if it helps you, do it. As we examined, the common ingredient of Brad and Rhonda's rationale was that the giver would stand to benefit (either by getting help later when they needed it or by living a richer life). So this principle helps both of them argue for their advice.

   Skill tested: Principle-Strengthen · how this choice captures the argument's function is the move to repeat next time.

4. D

   Bad Rhonda Match3% picked this

   One should make sacrifices for others only if they will eventually

   This aligns with Brad's thinking about our family/friends remembering what we did for them and returning the favor when we need it. But it contains nothing that has to do with Rhonda's "help others so that you'll have a richer life" argument.
