What does the author mean by “nowadays the moralist risks seeming at odds with morality”?
Explanation:
The passage does not hint at instances of immorality or amorality. This eliminates options 1 and 3. Option 4 is incorrect because though moralistic risks have been mentioned they have been said to be at odds with morality. There are no indications of them having risen. Option 5 is incorrect. There is no mention of purists in the passage. Therefore, the popularity of the purist’s view of morality cannot be established. Option 2: The passage states, “Nowadays the moralist risks seeming at odds with morality, in a world where the consumer civilization now wants even adults to be spoiled, and promises them always something more, from the wristwatch in the box of detergent to the bonus bangle sheathed, with the magazine it accompanies, in a plastic envelope”. The second half of the sentences points to the changes norms/mores in society, and this is our indicator that option 2 is correct. Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
