It is appropriate to compensate someone if you have damaged his or her property in some way. This is called Restitution. Which situation below is the best example of Restitution ?

  • A.Jake borrows Leslie's camera and the lens shatters when it falls on the ground because he fails to zip the case. When Jake returns the camera, he tells Leslie that he will pay for the repair.
  • B.Rebecca borrows her neighbour's car, and when she returns it, the gas tank is practically empty. She apologizes profusely and tells her neighbour she will be more considerate the next time.
  • C.Aaron asks Tom to check in on his apartment while he is out of town. When Tom arrives, he discovers that a pipe has burst and there is a considerable amount of water damage. He calls a plumber to repair the pipe.
  • D.Lisa suspects that the pothole in her company's parking lot caused her a flat tire. She tells her boss that she thinks the company should pay for the repair.

Answer: A

The best example is Jake, who offers to pay for the repair.

Restitution is compensating someone for damage you caused to their property. Jake damaged Leslie's camera lens through his own carelessness and promises to pay for the repair.

Rebecca only apologises for returning the car with little fuel and offers no compensation. Aaron's friend Tom finds damage he did not cause and calls a plumber, which is not compensation for damage he did. Lisa only suspects the company is to blame and asks it to pay, so she is not the one repairing her own damage.
