Question

Preschoolers __________. are more likely than older children to claim that lying is always wrong cannot distinguish moral imperatives from social conventions can easily distinguish between accidental and intentional transgressions tend to have fluid moral reasoning

Answer 1

Letter B is the correct answer.

Preschoolers are more likely than older kids to claim that lying (and stealing) is wrong at all circumstances. They do so because they experience a sense of self-conscious emotions and empathy which gives them a stronger sense of morality but are not able to distinguish moral imperatives from social conventions.
