Answer

Looking after yourself and your family
The official handbook 'Life in the United Kingdom' explicitly lists 'looking after yourself and your family' as one of the key responsibilities all residents should fulfill to help maintain a fair and safe society. This is grouped with other duties such as obeying the law, paying taxes, and treating others with fairness.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the question requirements
The question asks for a specific 'responsibility' listed in the official Life in the UK handbook.
To distinguish between rights (what you receive) and responsibilities (what you provide).
2
Evaluate the provided options against the official 'Values and Principles' section
Options regarding freedom of speech and the right to a fair trial are categorized as 'Rights and Freedoms'. Agreement with others' beliefs is a misconception of 'Tolerance'.
Accurate categorization is essential for matching the handbook's framework.
3
Identify the correct civic responsibility
'Looking after yourself and your family' is explicitly listed alongside duties like obeying the law and respecting others' rights.
This confirms the answer matches the official educational materials.
