- Treat others with fairness
- Look after yourself and your family
- Look after the area in which you live and the environment.
Why this question matters
This question is drawn from the “The Values and Principles of the UK” section of the official Home Office handbook. Topics from this chapter make up a significant portion of the 24 questions in the real exam, so being able to answer this one comfortably is a small but real step towards passing on the day.
The accepted answer is A: “Look after yourself and your family”. Memorise the underlying fact rather than the option letter — the order of options changes between attempts, and the real exam may rephrase the question.
