Which statement best captures the moral principle Zoe highlights when pursuing the dumpers?

• A. Doing what's right, not what's easy
• B. Doing what's easy, even if it's wrong
• C. Seeking wealth as a reward
• D. Public recognition is most important

Answer: (A)

The question tests the idea of moral integrity—doing the right thing even when it’s difficult or costly. The best statement captures Zoe’s principle by saying that one should do what's right, not what's easy. This reflects acting on ethics rather than convenience, especially in pursuing the dumpers where the right action requires effort, courage, or standing up to wrongdoing. The other options miss the point: doing what's easy even if it's wrong encourages compromising ethics; seeking wealth as a reward shifts the motive away from justice; and valuing public recognition places importance on others' opinions over doing what is right. So the statement that emphasizes choosing the right action over the easy one best reflects Zoe’s moral stance.
