Ethical proverb—'Do unto others ...'

• A. Treat others as they treat you.
• B. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
• C. Ignore others' needs to advance yourself.
• D. Always help strangers in trouble.

Answer: (B)

The main concept tested is the Golden Rule: treat others as you would want to be treated. This proverb guides behavior by encouraging empathy and proactive fairness toward others, regardless of how they treat you. It focuses on your own actions and how they reflect the standards you’d like to be held to, which makes it a universal guideline for ethical conduct.

This option correctly captures that idea: it tells you to act toward others in the same way you would want them to act toward you, promoting considerate, respectful treatment in everyday situations.

The other ideas don’t fit as well. Treating others as they treat you invites retaliation and escalation rather than a consistent standard of how you would wish to be treated. Ignoring others’ needs runs counter to the idea of fairness and mutual respect. While always helping strangers is admirable, it’s a noble behavior, not the general principle the proverb conveys.
