What does Zoe say is the reward for uncovering who dumped the hazardous materials?

• A. Doing what's right, not what's easy
• B. A monetary prize
• C. Public recognition
• D. A new bicycle

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is that true reward comes from doing the right thing, not from easy shortcuts or external perks. Zoe says the reward for uncovering who dumped the hazardous materials is doing what's right, not what's easy. This highlights moral courage and integrity—the act of choosing honesty and responsibility becomes its own payoff, a sense of inner satisfaction and trust built with others. Monetary prize, public recognition, or a tangible gift like a new bicycle would be external rewards. They don’t capture the internal fulfillment Zoe emphasizes when someone chooses the right course of action, even if it’s harder.
