Answer 1

Answer:

Option b=> if Socrates is executed, then it will cause harm to his family and friends.

Explanation:

The question above wants to test us on what happened, that is the conversation between Socrates (who is being condemned to be executed) and his friend -- Crito.

Crito asked Socrates to escape prison because to him(Crito) public opinion matters. Crito gave Socrates several reasons to escape the prison and they are;

(1). If Socrates won't escape, he(Crito) will loose a dear friend.

(2). If Socrates won't escape, he(Crito) would be accused of not being able to help his friend to get out of prison by the majority.

(3). If Socrates won't escape, Socrates won't be able to take care of his family and children.
