Ordering the Chaos of the Contemporary World: An Introduction to Freakonomics

Question 14 • ELA 11B-CR

Which of the following statements support the claim in Freakonomics that “people are generally good even without enforcement”?

Answer
A
Small offices are more honest than big ones.
B
Unseasonably cold weather makes people cheat.
C
Company morale is a major factor in honesty.
D
Many people enjoy using the honor system.

Explanation

The claim is that people often behave honestly even when no one is enforcing the rules. Many people willingly use an honor system, which relies on trust rather than supervision, so that statement directly supports the claim. Company morale may affect honesty, but it does not show that people are generally honest without enforcement.
