Answer

Brief Explanations:

A conventionalist views actions based on social conventions. Gerard’s action (pretending to be a cabbage) doesn’t violate conventions, isn’t obligatory (no duty to do this), not supererogatory (not going beyond duty), and not impermissible (neighbors say it’s none of their business). So it’s neutral as it neither conforms to nor violates social norms in a way that’s morally charged; it’s a personal, non - norm - violating act.

Answer:

Neutral (the option labeled "Neutral")
