Speaker: A certain ethical theory holds that everyone has six fundamental duties: to avoid causing harm to others, to promote the common good, to act honorably, to be fair, to obey authority, and to be loyal. According to the theory, when these duties conflict, avoiding causing harm to others is more important than being fair or acting honorably, and being fair is more important than obeying authority. Promoting the common good is more important than being loyal but is less important than acting honorably or obeying authority.
Statement: The speaker's statements do NOT indicate that the duty to ______1______ is ever less important than any of other duties, and the statements do NOT indicate that the duty to ______2______ is ever more important than any of the other duties.
Select for 1 and 2 the options that complete the statement so that it is most accurate based on the information provided. Make only two selections, one in each column.

It becomes simpler to interpret question if you do opposing logic on the statement. Negate the statement, rather than do Not, use Do and change the ever less important to ever more important.. that way it becomes very easy to understand and not get puzzled. Hope it helps

1. The question asks us to find a fundamental duty X and Y such that: X is not indicated to be less important than any other (it should be the most important now) and Y is not more important than any other (it should be the least important now).
2. Let all the fundamental duties be given a letter that represents its value: to avoid causing harm to others - A, to promote the common good - B, to act honorably - C, to be fair - D, to obey authority - E, and to be loyal - F.
3. From the problem, we can write down the following inequalities: A > D, A > C, D > E, B > F, C > B, E > B.
4. It's easier to draw this out. Let each value be a dot and each inequality is an arrow (the arrow heads to the larger value).
5. The graph can be changed to look better.
6. X is the value that all the arrows eventually lead to - which is A. Y is the value that has no arrows going to it - which is F.
7. Our answer will be that X is A and Y is F.
