    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    While in jail, Equality comments on the fact that the doors are not locked and that there are no guards. Why aren't these precautions in place?

    • The guards were on a break while Equality was in prison. So, the society did have some, but Equality didn't see them.

    • There's no need for guards because no one ever gets put in prison. And then, once they are there, they are usually too scared to continue breaking the rules.

    • There are no locks on the doors because the guards need to be able to take the prisoners at a moment's notice. The council meets so infrequently that they generally make decisions without much preamble.

    Correct Answer
    A. There's no need for guards because no one ever gets put in prison. And then, once they are there, they are usually too scared to continue breaking the rules.
    Explanation
    The explanation for the given correct answer is that there is no need for guards because no one ever gets put in prison. Additionally, once someone is in prison, they are usually too scared to continue breaking the rules. This suggests that the society in which Equality is imprisoned has a strong deterrent system in place, where the fear of punishment is enough to prevent people from committing crimes. Therefore, there is no need for locks on the doors or guards to monitor the prisoners.
