Question

A principal can be defined as:

• A. A usual mode of doing one thing
• B. A governing law of conduct or a settled rule of action
• C. A recommendation
• D. A casual practice

Answer 1

Answer:

B. A governing law of conduct or a settled rule of action

A principle is a fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief, behavior, or reasoning. It is not just a habit, recommendation, or casual practice, but a guiding rule that governs actions. Other options: a) A usual mode of doing one thing – refers more to a habit or method, not a principle. c) A recommendation – optional guidance, not mandatory or foundational. d) A casual practice – informal behavior, not a governing rule.
