Answer 1

To determine the correct pairing of obligatory and voluntary responsibilities, we need to analyze each row in the table:

• Row A: Voluntary Responsibility: Voting | Obligatory Responsibility: Paying taxes
• Row B: Voluntary Responsibility: Paying taxes | Obligatory Responsibility: Serving as a juror
• Row C: Voluntary Responsibility: Serving as a juror | Obligatory Responsibility: Volunteering
• Row D: Voluntary Responsibility: Volunteering | Obligatory Responsibility: Voting

From the definitions:

• Obligatory Responsibilities are those that are required by law or duty (e.g., paying taxes, serving as a juror).
• Voluntary Responsibilities are those that are encouraged but not required (e.g., voting, volunteering).

Given this information:

• Row A is correct because paying taxes is obligatory and voting is voluntary.
• Row B is incorrect because paying taxes is not voluntary; it is an obligation.
• Row C is incorrect because serving as a juror is an obligation.
• Row D is incorrect because volunteering is voluntary, and voting is also voluntary.

Thus, the correct answer is Answer A.
