You are right, there is no RIGHT answer, but there is an answer the company is wanting you to give. and usually it's "say something." in your example, an ideal employee would do something...not just let the dog get hit. so odds are. a, b, or c would bode well for you...but not d. i always think of the question, (and i'm paraphrasing), "your coworker clocks in and then goes to the breakroom for 15 minutes before going to work, do you a)say something to the employee, b)say something to superviser, c)don't say anything d)warn the employee and if you catch them doing it again you will report him/her?" we all know d would be the BEST answer....if you put a or b, it would be acceptable, and c would make you unhireable.

see what i mean...? there isn't a right answer, but there is a better answer...

i hope i explained that well!
