Question
In the question given below, a situation is given,
which follows a certain line of reasoning. From the options, choose the situation(s) which mimics the same line of reasoning. The "broken window theory" suggests that if a window in a building is broken and is left unrepaired, all the rest of the windows will soon be broken. This is because the unrepaired window sends a signal that no one cares, and so breaking more windows costs nothing. 1. A teacher notices one student whispering and ignores it; soon, the entire classroom is talking loudly as students realize there are no consequences for noise. 2. A gardener forgets to pull a single weed in a flowerbed; within a week, the invasive weeds have spread and choked out the primary flowers. 3. A driver receives a parking ticket and decides to never park in that zone again to avoid further financial penalties.Solution
The situation describes a line of reasoning where a small, unaddressed lapse in order or maintenance leads to a widespread breakdown of standards because it signals a lack of oversight. 1 is correct as it mimics this reasoning exactly: the lack of a "repair" (the teacher's correction) signals that the rules are not being enforced, leading to a total breakdown of classroom order. 2 is incorrect as it describes a biological/natural progression of growth rather than a behavioral response to a perceived lack of social or structural control. 3 is incorrect as it describes the opposite effect: a clear consequence (a ticket) leading to a change in behavior to follow the rules, rather than a lack of consequence leading to more violations.
