In the first question, students identify that acting with respect and responsibility is an ethical behavior, distinguishing it from selfish or irresponsible choices.

In the second question, students observe a situation in which a student notices that a classmate needs help during a school activity. The task is to recognize which response demonstrates solidarity.

In the third question, students identify solidarity and justice as values present in different religious traditions and ways of thinking, encouraging discussions about respect and positive relationships.

In the fourth question, students analyze a situation involving helping another person and recognize that acts of solidarity can strengthen trust between people.
