Explanation / Answer

Q1.Actions are right or wrong in proportion as they tend to produce happiness (pleasure and the absence of pain)

Q2. Option A;Pleasure and freedom from pain, are the only things desirable as ends.They are generally the limits of our imagination of what is desirable.

Q3.None of these.Humans are far more intelligent than swine and are capable of higher thinking.
Humans are capable of more sophisticated pleasures than animals.A higher thought process along with more sophisticated pleasures is what make humans better animals and their animalistic urges.

Q4.Neither of these.If the pleasure of reading poetry is qualitatively superior to the pleasure of eating candy, then an hour of eating candy might yield a greater amount of pleasure than an hour of poetry reading yet still be less valuable than the latter. Superior quality amplifies the intrinsic value of a given quantity of one or another pleasure.
