Question

question 2 of 5
why does wiesel refer to indifference as tempting?
a. to show how indifference can be a horrible sin.
b. to show that he has also ignored those in trouble.
c. to show that small temptations can be good.
d. to show that being indifferent to suffering is easy.

Explanation:

Elie Wiesel, in his writing about indifference to human suffering, frames it as "tempting" because choosing to look away from others' pain is often an easier, low-effort choice rather than confronting and addressing suffering. Option A focuses on sin, which is not the core of the "tempting" framing. Option B is unsupported, as Wiesel does not frame this as a personal admission of ignoring others. Option C is incorrect, as Wiesel views indifference as harmful, not good.

Answer:

D. To show that being indifferent to suffering is easy.
