Principle JustifyDiff: Medium
Logic Breakdown
Passage Summary: Legally, you can take your dishwasher when you sell your house, but because buyers usually expect it to stay, you should probably hide it or tell them it's not included to be fair.
Conclusion: Sellers who intend to keep their large appliances are morally required to either remove them before showing the house or explicitly state they are not for sale.
Reasoning: Even though sellers are legally allowed to take non-permanent items, many buyers assume these appliances come with the house.
Analysis: This argument transitions from a legal permission to a moral obligation based on the expectations of others. To justify this, we need a principle that links the prevention of false beliefs to ethical behavior. Look for an answer that suggests if your silence or actions would lead someone to a reasonable but incorrect assumption, you have a duty to correct it. It's the classic 'just because you can, doesn't mean you should' scenario applied to real estate etiquette.

Unlock Full Passage17.Which one of the following principles, if valid, most helps to justify the real estate agent's argumentation?
Correct Answer
A
A supplies exactly the needed bridge: when buyers might assume an item is included and the sellers will keep it, the sellers must clearly indicate it is excluded. That directly justifies the agent’s moral obligation to remove or disclose.
