John believes he shouldn’t be blamed for the accident, but Michiko thinks he should. Michiko supports his claim with a conditional statement:
(1) If someone knows an action they perform might have consequences, then they are responsible for those consequences.
We need to find the correct application of Michiko’s principle. We are looking for an answer choice that tells us someone is responsible for the consequences of an action because they were aware of the potential consequences beforehand.
The principle that Michiko invokes, ██ ████████████ █████ ███████ █████ ███ ██ ███ █████████ ██████████
