Answer

Two values that cannot both be satisfied by the same act

Options - A. Two values that cannot both be satisfied by the same act - B. A disagreement between two people about what to do - C. Any decision that is difficult to make under time pressure - D. An act that would break the law if it were carried out Why - A. Correct — loyalty versus honesty, deadline versus accuracy. The conflict is between values; naming both is the first thing the rubric line requires. - B. People can disagree with no value in tension, and one person can face a value conflict alone. The conflict is internal to the decision. - C. Difficulty is not the criterion. A hard decision with only one value at stake is a hard decision, not a value conflict. - D. Most value conflicts sit well above the legal floor. Illegality is rung one of the ladder, not the definition of the conflict.
