Question

Which action, while seemingly good, may reveal a vice rather than a virtue? Sasha cooperates with a colleague she does not like to complete an important project. Abraham does not like classical music, but he still takes his mother to the symphony. Carol gives a homeless man $10 to move away from her office building. Glenn shows up for work every day, even when he's had trouble sleeping the night before.

Answer 1

The correct option is that "Carol gives a homeless man $10 to move away from her office building".

• A vice simply means a behavior that's immoral or wicked. A virtue simply means a behavior that shows a high moral standard and indicates a good behavior.

• From the options given, an action that may reveal a vice rather than a virtue is "when Carol gives a homeless man $10 to move away from her office building".

• Carol may not like the fact that the homeless man is staying at her office building and wants to get rid of her. This shows that Carol isn't accommodative and therefore, this is a vice rather than a virtue.

• Therefore, the correct option is that Carol gives a homeless man $10 to move away from her office building.
