from Chapter VII, How To Govern, Chuang Tzŭ

Chien Wu meeting the eccentric Chieh Yü, the latter enquired, saying, "What did Jih Chung Shih teach you?"
"He taught me," replied Chien Wu, "about the laws and regulations which princes evolve, and which he said none would venture not to hear and obey."
"That is a false teaching indeed," replied Chieh Yü. "To attempt to govern mankind thus,—as well try to wade through the sea, to hew a passage through a river, or make a mosquito fly away with a mountain! The government of the truly wise man has no concern with externals. He first perfects himself, and then by virtue thereof he is enabled to accomplish what he wants.”

Read carefully and then decide. If AJ L is going on only what s/he believes, that's not what the question is asking. Ben needs to read and think, especially this: https://tao-in-you.com/tao-leadership.html

What I got from those articles is that the answer is B because it mentions a lot in the second link how much a good leader does not interfere.

Does ANYBODY know what the answers are to all of the test questions from U7 L8 7th grade SS?????? I really need help I have an F Right now and I REALLY REALLY Need to pass this with at least an 80%... Plz?

B. the idea that leaders should take little action and let people live a simple life

In this passage, Chieh Yü critiques the teachings of Jih Chung Shih, who believed in enforcing laws and regulations to govern society. Chieh Yü disagrees with this approach and suggests that the truly wise leader does not concern themselves with external rules and regulations. Instead, they focus on perfecting themselves and their own virtue. By doing so, they are able to accomplish what they want without the need for governing others through strict laws. This aligns with the Daoist belief that leaders should take minimal action and allow people to live a simple and natural life.
