Answer the question in the following paragraph from one of the perspectives described in the text.The water pump in Michelle's car isn't working, and her friend Felipe replaces it for her as a favor. Michelle decides to repay Felipe's kindness by promising to buy him a six-pack of beer. Unfortunately, Michelle isn't quite old enough to buy beer legally, so she asks her friend Carol, who is, to buy the beer for her and explains why. Felipe, too, is slightly under the legal age, but Carol knows Felipe and regards him as a responsible and mature individual. Further, (a) Carol knows that Michelle will be embarrassed if she has to tell Felipe she cannot get beer for him after all, and (b) Michelle has recently done something nice for Carol, and Carol owes her a favor. However, (c) Michelle is
aware that if Felipe drinks the beer all at once and goes driving-an unlikely event in Carol's opinion-he could be injured or injure others. Carol could be held liable in that event. But (d) Carol knows Michelle's other friends and doubts that any of them are old enough to buy beer for Michelle. If Carol turns Michelle down, Michelle will have to live without getting Felipe the beer she promised to give him. Should Carol get the beer for Michelle, everything considered? What will be an ideal response?
