In the context of responsibilities, "obligatory" refers to those actions that individuals are legally required to perform, while "voluntary" refers to those that individuals choose to undertake without legal compulsion.
Here's a breakdown of the options provided:
- A Voting: Generally regarded as a civic duty but is not legally mandatory, making it a voluntary responsibility.
- B Paying taxes: An obligatory responsibility, as individuals are required by law to pay taxes.
- C Serving as a juror: An obligatory responsibility, as citizens are legally required to serve if summoned.
- D Volunteering: A voluntary responsibility, as it involves giving one's time without payment and is not legally mandated.
Based on this breakdown, the correct pairings of obligatory and voluntary responsibilities would be:
- Obligatory: B (Paying taxes) or C (Serving as a juror)
- Voluntary: A (Voting) or D (Volunteering)
Therefore, none of the choices A, B, C, or D exclusively create a correct pairing of obligatory and voluntary responsibilities together. A proper pairing might be B (Paying taxes) with D (Volunteering) or C (Serving as a juror) with D (Volunteering) if we had to link voluntary and obligatory together in a list format, but these options are standalone in your selection.
If combining these into a pair in a table format, you'd have:
| Obligatory Responsibility | Voluntary Responsibility | |---------------------------|--------------------------| | Paying taxes | Volunteering | | Serving as a juror | Voting |
But since your question asks for a correct pairing from the initial options, and if the answer is strictly about provided letters, then:
- None of the rows correctly represent obligatory versus voluntary responsibilities directly as per your letters A, B, C, and D.
