RC Question 15 Explanation

QUESTION TEXT: Both passages are concerned with answering…

DISCUSSION: Both passages are about whether we should treat others the way they treat others.

___________

1. Neither passage really considers harm as the main principle. The first passage mentions a harmless liar, but only to make a different point.
2. Neither passage talks about the distinction between legal wrongs and moral wrongs.
3. CORRECT. The first passage is about whether to lie to a liar. The second passage is about whether to treat a rational being the way they treat others.
4. The second passage talks about duties and rights. But the author is not interested in defining the difference. The author assumes we already know this difference.
5. Only passage two talks about rational beings. And it doesn’t say whether all wrongdoers should be treated as rational.
