Answer 1

Answer) I would choose question 10.Could you disclose without qualm your decision or action to your boss,head of your organization,your colleagues,your family,the person you most admire,or society as a whole,the reason behing choosing this is that if decsion is right,it is ethical,I will have no qualms telling it to society,now it is possible that some or lot of people may not agree with my decision for various reasons,howver the very fact that I had no qualms in first place means I took the decision which I believed was right,now consider this,if you had qualms about the decision,it means you were not sure if decision was ethical or not and if you are starting with such a doubt,you are most likely to end with a wrong decision,thus this particular question simplifies choices and in all probability let you take the right decision.
