Question 405General Subjects - 1st Asst/Chief
70% to passThe "hot stove" rule is sometimes used to illustrate the principles of fair, effective discipline. Which of the following principles illustrates the principle of discipline carrying a clear warning?
The correct answer is D) You know what will happen if you touch a hot stove. This answer illustrates the principle of discipline carrying a clear warning. The "hot stove" rule suggests that effective discipline should provide a clear and predictable consequence for an action, much like touching a hot stove will always result in a burn. By knowing the outcome ahead of time, the person can make an informed decision about whether to engage in the behavior. The other answer choices do not directly address the concept of a clear warning. While they may be true statements about hot stoves, they do not specifically highlight the importance of providing a predictable consequence as part of fair and effective discipline.
