In an experiment, each volunteer was allowed to choose between an easy task and a hard task and was told that another volunteer would do the other task. Each volunteer could also choose to have a computer assign the two tasks randomly. Most volunteers chose the easy task for themselves and under questioning later said they had acted fairly. But when the scenario was described to another group of volunteers, almost all said choosing the easy task would be unfair. This shows that most people apply weaker moral standards to themselves than to others. Which of the following is an assumption required by this argument?
(A) At least some volunteers who said they had acted fairly in choosing the easy task would have said that it was unfair for someone else to do so.
(B) The most moral choice for the volunteers would have been to have the computer assign the two tasks randomly.
(C) There were at least some volunteers who were assigned to do the hard task and felt that the assignment was unfair.
(D) On average, the volunteers to whom the scenario was described were more accurate in their moral judgments than the other volunteers were.
(E) At least some volunteers given the choice between assigning the tasks themselves and having the computer assign them felt that they had made the only fair choice available to them.

(A) At least some volunteers who said they had acted fairly in choosing the easy task would have said that it was unfair for someone else to do so.

Explanation:

Option A is correct because it portrays a situation whereby the people in the initial group had opposing answers when the condition changes against them.

Option B is incorrect because the issue of moral choice is not what is being considered but rather moral standards

Option C is incorrect because for the argument to be valid, the same people that gave the initial judgment should be able to change their judgment given different condition. Not just random people.

Option D is incorrect because for the argument to be valid, it does not require whether the other group is accurate in their judgment or not.

Option E is also not correct because there is nothing to compare their conclusion of saying their choice was fair. Any group could just say that, there nothing in the statement to prove otherwise.

the correct answer is "c": the pillars proclaimed his regret at the bloodshed at the battle of kalinga and his conversion to buddhism.
