Passage Summary: An ethicist provides two specific rules: it is wrong to break a law that benefits everyone, and it is right to follow a law that benefits everyone.

Reasoning: An action is defined as wrong if it breaks a societal rule that helps the general public; an action is defined as right if it is required by a societal rule that helps the general public.

Analysis: This is a Principle Application question, so we need to find a scenario that perfectly fits the 'if' conditions of the ethicist's rules. To conclude an action is 'wrong,' the scenario must involve a rule that promotes general welfare and a person breaking that rule. To conclude an action is 'right,' the scenario must involve a rule that promotes general welfare and a person following that rule. Be careful of 'illegal' acts that don't involve a welfare-promoting rule, or 'good' acts that aren't required by a rule—the principle won't apply to those. Look for an answer that checks both boxes for either the 'right' or 'wrong' definition.
