I really did not understand this.I thought the blank should be positive and I found not even one positive word and I was like what I am doing wrong in this.
Can you please help me to understand this question.
Virtue is because of Lacking energy to be bad (1st blank)
in such cases (support)
Goodness is because of Laziness (2nd blank)
If someone is lazy enough to do something negative, this isnt his goodness. but he just lacks energy to do somethign bad. (means he is actually bad and he shouldnt be praised)
In discussing the statement, we shouldn’t assume that someone is virtuous simply because they are not doing terrible things. This perspective recognizes that true moral involves active choice and effort, rather than a passive state or the absence of negative actions.
The first blank implies a situation where an individual is not actively choosing to be good because they lack the motivation or energy to engage in negative behaviors. This leads us to understand that the absence of bad actions (due to lack of energy) does not necessarily constitute virtue.
For the second blank, we are looking for a word that explains why this lack of negative action occurs. It’s about the absence of effort or inclination to act in a certain way, rather than a deliberate choice to be virtuous. A word that is synonymous with laziness or sloth is our best fit here.
So to bring it all home, option (C) is the best fit for our predetermined criteria listed above, as lacking the energy to be wicked is certainly a byproduct of indolence.
Please let me know if I was unclear in any part of my response, I’d love to clarify further if need be.
Best of Luck!
Thank you
Thank you so much
