Q1
On a rainy morning, the principal speaks about safety near the school entrance. She says a rule is something everyone must follow, like walking bikes on the sidewalk. She adds that a guideline is a helpful suggestion, like arriving early to avoid rushing. Students who break a rule may receive a consequence, even if they did not mean to. Students who ignore a guideline may still be fine, but they might have a harder day. The principal explains that rules protect everyone, while guidelines make good choices easier. Later, a student follows the guideline and avoids missing the bell. Another student breaks a rule and must meet with a teacher. What does guideline mean in contrast to rule as used in the text?
