Explanation:

• Question 1: Subjectivists base moral - decision making on their own emotions and beliefs. Solidarity refers to unity, relativists base morality on culture or society, and objectivists believe in objective moral standards.
• Question 2: Rachels argues that cultural relativism, simple subjectivism, and emotivism have major logical and moral flaws. Cultural relativism has issues with the idea that moral standards are just cultural conventions, simple subjectivism reduces moral statements to personal opinions, and emotivism sees moral statements as expressions of emotion.
• Question 3: Non - moral actions are those that do not involve considerations of right and wrong, like everyday actions such as scratching one's nose. Moral actions involve right and wrong, and immoral actions are those that are wrong.
