Rev. Hayes says that an action is right if it benefits one or more other people and an action is wrong if it harms anyone. Rev. Hayes says the action is wrong if the harm could have been seen with reasonable thought or whether or not harm was intended to anyone.

Which one of the following most clearly conforms to the principle cited above?

(A) Frank wrote a proposal attempting to cause trouble between Linda and Jane; this action was morally bad, even though, in fact, it had an opposite effect than the one intended.
(B) Giving a homeless man a ride to a local shelter, Fred was in a serious car accident that was not his fault. The homeless man, injured in the accident, received a settlement from the other driver’s insurance company. The settlement allowed him to get an apartment for him and his family; thus showing that a right action can have both bad and good consequences.
(C) Giving a homeless man a ride to a local shelter, George was in a serious car accident that was his fault. The homeless man, injured in the accident, received a settlement from George’s insurance company. The settlement allowed him to get an apartment for him and his family; thus showing that a right action can have both bad and good consequences.
(D) Linda agreed to watch her friend’s cat for two weeks at her home. Everything went fine for 10 days. Then, on the next day, when Linda opened the window and sat down to watch television, the cat fell out of the window and was injured. She took the cat to a local vet, paid the bill, and the cat was almost recovered by the time Linda’s friend returned. Even though she intended no harm, Linda’s action was wrong.
(E) Mary, a trained social worker, was asked by a homeless man for food. She walked with the man to the local shelter that runs a soup kitchen. There, the man choked while eating lunch and died. Thus, Mary performed a wrong action.
