Site 2 is at the far western edge of the city with marginal, but acceptable, access to public transit and parking and is owned by one of the mayor's biggest supporters. The city selected Site 2 and the citizens demanded an ethical inquiry. Which of the following is NOT a likely ethical lapse in the selection of Site 2? O Choosing an inferior alternative. O Showing favoritism in exchange for money O Favoring one company over another without considering the best interest of the public O Using inaccurate data

Answer 1

Correct Answer:

D

Using inaccurate data, is more of lapses on techniques of data collection or methods to analyse the data. It is technical in nature, rather ethical. Other alternatives are related to ethics where utilitarian or consequential approach of ethics are neglected.
