Cheating, rules and games, sentence 12

Some rules are unfair, for example a rule that favours one group; the fair response is to challenge them respectfully, not to break them secretly.

Who acts: rules, rule, fair response · What happens: be, favour, not break · To what, where: one group, rules

This is a sentence of the lesson «Cheating, rules and games» of the religion ethics course of Mova's primary school.

The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
