Polemarchus defines justice as benefiting one’s friends and harming one’s enemies. Socrates argues against this definition that it might lead people to mistakenly benefit bad people and harm good people.

Explanation / Answer

Hello!

1.Your answer should be it is just to harm an enemy who is bad because in any discussions or examples socrates gives to support a specific statement this reason is not seen and this statement was never made by him instead this was made by polemarchus.

3.A wild beast about to spring, ready to tear his victims to prices.i say so because socrates himself calls Thrasymachus a beast and it can be seen in his arguments too.

2.False because he supports the statement said by arguing that it is bad to harm a just man but doesnot anywhere mention that people might mistakenly harm the good ones.

Thankyou, hope this helped
