Answer 1

C. People who work hard are superior to those who are lazy. 

Answer 2

Answer:

A. People deserve what happens to them, whether good or bad.

Explanation:

The Just world hypothesis states that noble actions are rewarded and unjust actions are penalized. This hypothesis states that there is a force in the universe that restores the moral balance. This can be better understood by sayings like "what goes around comes around" and "you got what was coming to you".

So, bad people deserve something bad happening to them and good people also deserve what is happening to them.
