_____ believes a version of the Golden Rule exists in just about every culture.

• A. Lorraine Woellert
• B. Fred Smith
• C. John Maxwell
• D. The Josephson Institute of Ethics

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is identifying who is associated with the claim that a version of the Golden Rule exists in nearly every culture. Among the options, Fred Smith is the figure most commonly linked in ethics discussions to the belief in a universal moral principle shared across cultures. The other options are less connected to this specific attribution—Lorraine Woellert is a journalist, John Maxwell is known for leadership ideas, and The Josephson Institute of Ethics is an ethics organization rather than a single person making that claim. So, in this context, Fred Smith is the best fit for the statement.
