Student responses should mention that in spite of Ben’s individual desire to pursue a law degree he is readily willing to put the needs of his family first, indicating that is what is best for the family as a whole is most important and his individual goals, therefore, have a lower priority.

Students should answer “No” and explain that Quinn says that if her family—or even the extended community she grew up in—needed her she’d change her plans “in a heartbeat,” which strongly suggests she values the needs and desires of the group over her own individual needs and desires.
