In the following question a particular word is provided. Four sentences have been framed using the word. In only one of these is the word used correctly. Select the correct option. Word: Amoral

  1. A.Murder can be categorized as an amoral act.
  2. B.We must send out a message that we are not an amoral society.
  3. C.It is amoral to cheat the one who loves you.
  4. D.The pursuit of victory at all costs allows for amoral conduct.✓ Correct

Explanation

Amoral means lacking a moral sense; unconcerned with the rightness or wrongness of something — outside the sphere of moral judgment. This differs from 'immoral' (knowingly violating morality). Murder (option a) and cheating a loved one (option c) are immoral, not amoral — these are clear moral violations. Option (b) misuses amoral where 'immoral' would be intended. Option (d) correctly uses amoral: pursuing victory at all costs allows for conduct undertaken without regard to moral considerations — genuine amorality where moral concerns are simply set aside. Therefore the answer is (d).
