Answer to Question 1

D
Explanation: D) Moral judgments are closely tied to emotions; however, these emotions are bounded by rationality. Being perturbed by someone acting selflessly is unreasonable.

Answer to Question 2

D
Explanation: D) Consistency in a person's actions means that the person responds the same way over time to the same situation. An employee who hasn't been from for several months is perceived differently than an employee who is late two or three times a week. Janice demonstrates high consistency in tardiness.
