Solution

failed
failed

The answer is: they are on a par with others.

Explanation:

  1. They are on a par with others: This option reflects the idea that individuals recognize the equal moral worth of others. Ethical theories often emphasize the importance of considering others' needs because all individuals are seen as having equal moral status. This is where Ethical Egoism, which prioritizes self-interest, fails to account for the equal consideration of others.

  2. Desires of different people are different: While true, this statement doesn't address the moral reasoning behind recognizing others' needs. It simply acknowledges diversity in desires, not the moral imperative to consider them.

  3. Their own needs are greater than others: This aligns with Ethical Egoism, which is the perspective being critiqued. It fails to recognize the moral equality of others.

  4. Individuals are superior to others: This contradicts the principle of moral equality and is not a reason for recognizing others' needs in a moral theory.
