becky belongs to a culture in which arriving early is thought to be impolite.\nwhat would a conventionalist call this action in becky’s culture?\n\na.) supererogatory\n\nb.) obligatory\n\nc.) impermissible\n\nd.) neutral

Answer

Brief Explanations:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

  • Supererogatory: Actions that are morally good but not required. Arriving early being impolite isn't about being extra - good, so a is wrong.
  • Obligatory: Actions that one must do. The culture thinks arriving early is impolite, not that one must arrive early, so b is wrong.
  • Impermissible: Actions that are not allowed. Since Becky’s culture considers arriving early impolite (not allowed), a conventionalist would call this impermissible.
  • Neutral: Actions with no moral significance. Arriving early has a negative moral connotation (impolite) here, so d is wrong.

Answer:

c.) Impermissible
