Answer to Question 1

Answer: D
Explanation: A) Incorrect. The personal gain test asks the question: Would I make the decision the same way if it did not benefit me in any way? Here there is no indication that you have benefited from the new policy. The golden rule test asks whether you would be willing to be treated in the same manner.
B) Incorrect. The equal treatment test asks whether you are considering the perspectives of minorities and lower status people. Here there is no evidence that the policy has any particular effect on privileged or unprivileged individuals, so this test is not applicable. The golden rule test asks whether you would be willing to be treated in the same manner.
C) Incorrect. The cost-benefit test asks whether the benefit to one group causes unacceptable harm to another. This policy is being enforced uniformly and there is no evidence of potential unacceptable harm to others. The golden rule test asks whether you would be willing to be treated in the same manner.
D) Correct. The golden rule test asks whether you would be willing to be treated in the same manner.

Answer to Question 2

C) Third level of maturity
Answer: C
Explanation: A) Incorrect. You were not acting for your own needs or self-interest, which is the basis of the first level of maturity.
B) Incorrect. You violated the law and societal expectations, which are the basis of the second level of maturity.
C) Correct. You made a judgment that human life is more important than laws against stealing, which seems to be based on universal principles of right and wrong.
