a. the Good Mind
Analysis:
a. Correct. In Zoroastrian belief, after death, the deeds of a soul are weighed. If the good deeds of the soul outweigh the evil ones, the soul ascends to the stars (representing good thoughts) then to the moon (good words), to the sun (good deeds), and finally to paradise, where eternal lights shine. There the Good Mind leads the soul to the golden throne of Ahura Mazda.
b, c & d. Incorrect. In Zoroastrian belief, after a person dies, the Requiter (Chinvat) weighs the soul's deeds during all of life.

Consider the common moral that stealing is wrong. Hector is with a group of friends in a local supermarket. One of Hector’s buddies takes a high-energy drink from a 6-pack on the shelf, opens it, drinks it, and returns the empty can to the package, with no intention of paying for it. He then invites the others to do the same saying “It’s only one drink. Others do it all the time.” All the others, except Hector, have now consumed a drink of their choice. Personally, Hector believes this is a form of stealing. State three actions that Hector can take and evaluate them from the personal moral perspective.
