Step 1 · Pre-Question Guidance · read this first

Question type
Analogy
The one idea it tests
Pick the scenario that acts out the cited view exactly.
The basic logic
The view: people owe each other a duty to avoid hurting anyone, whether or not a rule says so. Find a scenario where someone acts from that duty, not from fear of the rule.
Tiny words that decide it
  • “even if”
  • “still”
  • “not to harm”

Playground logic

The Box Doubters say players owe each other no cheating, rulebook or not. A kid who returns a card because keeping it would cheat a friend acts out exactly that duty.

Step 2 · The kid passage

This question belongs to Passage 4 (Questions 20–27). Read its kid passage and structure guide first: Do You Have to Obey the Box? →

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 24 in your official copy and answer it first.

Restate the cited view abstractly: a duty to avoid hurting others that does not depend on a rule. For each scenario, ask why the person acts. Reject cases driven by fear of penalty, by self-interest, or that ignore harm. Choose the one where a person stops harming others because it harms them.
