What did Josh reveal about why he owed Sun-jo and Zopa?

• A. Kitar saved Josh's life two years ago and died.
• B. Kitar saved Josh's life two years ago and died.
• C. Sun-jo and Zopa saved Josh's life.
• D. Josh owed money to a different person.

Answer: (B)

A life-saving act creates a lasting obligation, especially when the savior is no longer alive to carry it out. In this case, Josh reveals that Kitar saved his life two years ago and died. That sacrifice establishes a moral debt that must be honored, and Sun-jo and Zopa become the ones who carry on or are connected to that debt. So Josh owes them not for money or for any action they personally took to save him, but because his life was saved by Kitar and Kitar did not survive to see the debt paid. This explains his stated owed-to relation and why he brings up that history when talking about Sun-jo and Zopa. The other possibilities don’t fit this chain: they place the saving act with Sun-jo and Zopa or imply a different creditor, which wouldn’t account for the debt tied to Kitar’s sacrifice and death.
