Personal, social, professional, and political problems involving diverging ethical imperatives can be emotionally and intellectually difficult to resolve. Strong critical thinkers approach those challenges mindful that reasonable people ________.

A) will never come to agreement
B) can disagree
C) almost always agree
D) agree unless they are being unreasonable

Strong critical thinkers understand that it is possible for reasonable people to disagree on ethical issues, and this understanding helps them navigate complex problems involving diverging ethical imperatives. Option A is incorrect because although agreement may not always be possible, it is not reasonable to assume that reasonable people can never come to agreement. Option C is also incorrect because it is not realistic to expect that almost everyone will agree on ethical issues. Option D is incorrect because it assumes that disagreement is a sign of being unreasonable, which is not necessarily true.
