What does McMahan say about the ticking bomb case?
 
 

a. Use of torture in this particular case could be justified because it is the lesser
  of the two evils.
  b. Use of torture in this particular case could be justified as an instance of the
  principle of preventative justice.
  c. Use of torture in this particular case is not justified because we cannot know
  with certainty that the person we are torturing is responsible for the bomb
  or even has any information about the bomb.
  d. Use of torture in this particular case is not justified because torture is
  categorically wrong.

Question 2

What do Margalit and Walzer say Israel should act if civilians are being used as
  human shields?

 
 

a. It is unfortunate that civilians are used as human shields but if their
  governments do not respect their rights, Israel has no obligation to respect
  their rights either.
  b. There are no innocent civilians in societies that allow terrorists to operate;
  therefore a civilian who is being used as a human shield is implicitly an
  enemy combatant and therefore may be justly killed.
  c. Israel should act as if the civilians who are being used as human shields were
  Israeli citizens.
  d. All of the above
