Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
This is a statement about people's beliefs; hence, it's descriptive. Individual liberty should be respected is, however, a normative claim.



Answer to Question 2

ANS:
By listing a number of distinct virtues, Meno fails to give us any insight into the essence of virtue. Even if we agree with Meno's list, we may still wonder what all of the items on the list have in common. What is it that makes them all virtues? This is what Socrates wants to know, but Meno cannot tell him.
