In the investigation both of the orthography and signification of words, their ETYMOLOGY was necessarily to be considered, and t

hey were therefore to be divided into primitives and derivatives. A primitive word, is that which can be traced no further to any English root; thus circumspect, circumvent, circumstance, delude, concave and complicate, though compounds in the Latin, are to us primitives.

Answer:

Minimize harm because the protester might be affected by the interview.

Seek truth because the protester made a statement about a major issue.

Explanation:

The SPJ Code of Ethics is a guide that encourages journalists to take responsibility for the information they provide. It is not a strict set of rules, but it's important either way because some basic principles need to be followed in sensitive cases, such as this one.

As the protester is a minor, she needs to be protected. That's why the harm should be minimized as much as it's possible. But, at the same time, there is a possibility that the mother is not telling the truth. It is understandable that she may not want her daughter to be exposed, but the truth matters. If the protester is aware of the fact her face may be on television and wants to be heard, it should be alright to air the interview. After all, she spoke about an important issue. That's why the reporter should seek the truth and then try making the right decision.

Thus, the correct options are the last two.
