What is your answer?

In ethical disputes, we can effectively argue and assert incompatible truth claims over

    { 1 } - questions of fact.
    { 2 } - questions of basic values.
    { 3 } - both of the above.
    { 4 } - none of the above.

1 is correct!

In ethical disputes, we can effectively argue and assert incompatible truth claims over

Sometimes both sides appeal to the same basic values. Then we can argue about the facts of the case, hoping that agreement over the facts will bring agreement over feelings and moral judgments.

If the two parties have different basic values (perhaps because they were raised in different societies and had different moral conditioning), then factual agreement is less likely to bring ethical agreement.

2 is wrong. Please try again.

In ethical disputes, we can effectively argue and assert incompatible truth claims over

    { 1 } - questions of fact.
    { 2 } - questions of basic values.
    { 3 } - both of the above.
    { 4 } - none of the above.

Basic value judgments simply express feelings and don't make truth claims. We can't effectively reason about them. But we can try to change a person's basic values by emotional means.
