Match the items.
The task is to match the lettered items with the correct numbered items. Appearing below is a list of lettered items. Following that is a list of numbered items. Each numbered item is followed by a drop-down. Select the letter in the drop down that best matches the numbered item with the lettered alternatives.
a. The government should legalize marijuana. We all accept that alcohol and cigarettes are legal, and marijuana is the same type of thing—so it doesn't make any sense for it not to be legal.
b. The government should legalize marijuana. Making marijuana illegal doesn't stop anyone from using it—but it does prevent the government from collecting tax revenue on it and regulating its safety.
 

Match each argument to the type of ethical theory it reflects.

Each numbered item is followed by a drop-down. Select the letter in the drop down that best matches the numbered item with the lettered alternatives.
a. The death penalty should be abolished. Studies have shown that the existence of the death penalty doesn't deter anyone from committing murder. Besides, it costs more to execute people than to imprison them for life. And an execution may give some comfort to the family of the victim, but what about the family of the killer?
b. Murderers should be punished with the death penalty. If you take someone else's life against their will, you deserve to die.
