Explanation / Answer

The answer to Question 31 is True, as the Divine Command theory states that God commands all actions of morality, and thus morality is arbitrary as it depends on the whim of God.

The answer to Question 32 is False, as the statement “Way to go!” seems like an appreciation of an act of behaviour. This is thus an attitude and not a factual statement.

The answer to Question 33 is False, as Hobbes believed that nature of humanity leads people to seek power and they might end up harming each other for their personal goals without laws and procedures set into place.

The answer to Question 34 is True, ‘coward’ is the antonym for ‘courage’ and ‘cowardliness’ indicates the ‘lack of courage’.
