What is a Good Samaritan?

• A. A person who helps another person
• B. A judge who helps
• C. A type of lawsuit
• D. A term for a criminal

Answer: (A)

A Good Samaritan is someone who helps another person in need. The term is used to describe a person who offers assistance in an emergency or difficult situation, often out of kindness and without expecting payment. The idea comes from a story where a traveler is aided by a stranger, and in everyday language it celebrates compassionate, voluntary help.

So, the best answer is a person who helps another person. A judge who helps, a type of lawsuit, or a term for a criminal does not capture that sense of voluntary, supportive action.
