1. To determine the correct answer between A and B, we need to understand the meanings of the terms "intrinsic" and "instrumental."
- Intrinsic: It refers to something that has value or worth in and of itself, independent of any external factors or purposes.
- Instrumental: It refers to something that has value or worth only as a means to achieving some other end or purpose.
Now, if we consider the given question, it asks for goods that are valued as a means to some other good. In this case, the correct answer is B. "Instrumental." This is because goods that are valued as means to achieve other ends are considered instrumental goods.
2. To determine the correct answer between A, B, C, and D, we need to understand the meanings of the terms provided.
- Morality: It refers to principles and values concerning right and wrong behavior.
- Ethics: It refers to the study of moral principles and the application of those principles to ethical dilemmas.
- Axiology: It refers to the study of value, including both ethical and aesthetic values.
- Practical philosophy: It refers to the branch of philosophy concerned with practical issues and how to live a good life.
Based on these definitions, the correct answer is B. "Ethics." Ethics is the specific branch of philosophy that deals with questions concerning right and wrong behavior and how we ought to live our lives.
