Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tom's threat to tattle creates a situation of potential loss for Sarah. If she hits Tom and he follows through with his threat to tattle, they both incur a loss of 10. On the other hand, if Sarah chooses not to hit Tom, he may still tattle, resulting in a loss of 5 for Sarah and a gain of 5 for Tom. However, if Tom does not follow through with his threat, then there is no loss for either of them. Therefore, Sarah's best response would be to not hit Tom, as it minimizes her potential losses.
