Question # 1

Most citizens are very conscientious about observing a law when they can see the reason behind it. For instance, there has been very little need to actively enforce the recently-Implemented law that increased the penalty for motorists caught leaving a gas station without paying for gas they had pumped into their vehicles. This is because citizens are very concerned about the high cost of gasoline and they know that stealing gas will only further increase the price of gasoline for everyone.

Q:With which of the following statements would the author of this passage be most likely to agree?

Choose an answer

The increased penalty alone is a significant motivation for most citizens to obey the law.

There are still too many inconsiderate citizens in the local community

High gasoline prices can be brought down if everyone does his or her part and pays for the gasoline they use at the pumps
