Which term describes moral rightness and ethical behavior?

• A. Filipino Heart
• B. Righteousness
• C. Temptation
• D. Seasons in poetry

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is moral rightness and ethical behavior, which is described by the term righteousness. Righteousness means acting in accordance with moral principles and duties—showing integrity, honesty, fairness, and doing what is morally right even when it’s challenging. It captures how a person conducts themselves in everyday actions and decisions, aiming to live rightly. For example, telling the truth, keeping promises, and treating others justly are signs of righteousness.

Other terms don’t fit this meaning. Seasons in poetry refers to a literary concept tied to imagery and meter, not ethics. Temptation refers to the urge to do something wrong, which is opposite to moral action. Filipino Heart is not a standard term used to describe ethical behavior.
