QNO.2. Read the attached Ethics-IV.pdf

There are three grade levels for this assignment based on your responses to all the questions: 20 (no reasoning in responses), 35 (minimal to little reasoning), and 50 (sufficient reasoning and consideration).
Write your answers in a Word file using Times New Roman font (no smaller than 10 pt but no bigger than 12 pt), single spacing, 1″ margins on all sides.
Save your file as Ethics_4_FL where FL is your first and last name initial and Submit.
