To analyze the statements in light of Mappes' framework, we need to assess what he identifies as sufficient conditions for sexual coercion.
Option 1: 'you use violence to get them to comply.' In many coercive frameworks, overt violence is a clear, direct means of forcing compliance, which satisfies the criterion for coercion being present. If violence is used, the person cannot freely consent, so this is considered a sufficient condition for sexual coercion according to Mappes' formulation.
Option 2: 'you threaten them.' Threats function as a coercive pressure that undermines voluntary consent; the target is pressured into sexual activity to avoid harm or negative outcomes. Since threats create a power imbalance and compel agreement, this also meets the threshold of a sufficient condition for sexual coercion in Mappes' analysis.
Option 3: 'you make them an offer so attractive that it is hard to refuse.' This describes what some might call a quid pro quo or an appealing incentive. However, in Mappes' discussion, an attractive offer alone typically does not constitute a sufficient condition for coercion, because consent could still be voluntary if the person is free to refuse without immediate or implicit consequences beyond the offer. Therefore, this is not considered a sufficient condition on its own.
Option 4: 'you take advantage of their situation.' Exploiting someone’s vulnerable position is a form of coercion, but whether it meets the specific criteria Mappes labels as 'sufficient' depends on the exact context he outlines. If taking advantage creates compulsion or undermines voluntary choice to the same degree as violence or threats, it could be treated as coercive. If the phrasing here implies merely utilizing a disadvantage without explicit pressure, it may not always be sufficient on its own under his criteria. Since the question lists the two clearly identified as sufficient (violence and threats), this option is typically treated as insufficient on its own in the standard reading.
Option 5: The list includes only four options, and the provided correct set identifies violence and threats as sufficient. The remaining options do not meet the same threshold in his framework, either because they describe incentives, nuanced manipulation, or contextual exploitation rather than direct coercive force or explicit danger to the person.
In summary, the statements 'you use violence to get them to comply' and 'you threaten them' align with Mappes' identification of sufficient conditions for sexual coercion, whereas the other statements describe coercive dynamics that may be relevant but are not labeled as sufficient conditions in the same framework. The distinction hinges on whether the action produces an explicit and credible pressure that overrides free consent in a way that is categorically coercive, which is most clearly captured by violence and threats.}
