Identify the distinction Socrates makes between doing what one wants and doing what one sees fit.
When one does what one sees fit, one is acting in one's own best interest. What one wants is based on immediate gratification of some desire.
When one does what one see fit, one is acting to satisfy some immediate desire. When one does what one wants, one is acting in one's own best interest.
Actually, Socrates does not convince Polus that there is a distinction between the two notions. Thus, since this is an argument, no distinction is effectively made.
One confiscates property and puts people to death when one does what one sees fit. One does not so treat others when one does what one wants, because to do so is always and everywhere wrong.
On p. 38 Polus claims that Socrates is saying things that "no human being would maintain". How is this relevant to the argument.
It is not relevant to the argument. It is just another rhetorical device in the orator's bag of tricks.
It shows that popular opinion is against Socrates, and this is required in order for anyone to win the argument.
Since Socrates claims that he wants to convince the majority, this shows that he is far from substantiating his conclusion and that something must have gone wrong in his argument.
It shows that Socrates is alone in what he thinks, and thus there really is no argument.
At various places Polus says that Socrates' claims are "outrageous" or "absurd". How is this relevant to the argument.
It is not relevant to the argument.
If an idea is outrageous or absurd, it should be discarded.
Outrageous and absurd ideas are suspicious, and thus are always a waste of time.
None of the above.
Who is the Great King that Polus claims is unjust, yet the happiest Macedonian?
Alcetas.
Perdiccas.
Achilles.
None of the above.
Why is it important that Socrates make the distinction between acting for a means to an end and acting for the sake of the act?
Because when the tyrant kills people unjustly, he does so for the sake of killing them (only for the sake of the act) and that means he is doing what he sees fit.
Because it is only when one acts in a way such that the act is a means to a higher goal that one is doing as one wants.
Because torturing people can never be done as a means to an end, and yet this is what the tyrant does.
Because acts such as unjust torturing must be from ignorance of what is in one's own best interest.
