Answer is A
Read the following passage and answer question
no. 46 to 50:
Neither the virtues, nor the vices are
feelings, for we are not called worthy or worthless on account of our feelings,
but on account of our virtues and vices. Moreover, we are not praised or blamed
on account of our feelings. For a person is not praised for being frightened or
angry; it is not simply for being angry that someone is blamed, but for being
angry in a particular way. But we are praised or blamed on account of our
virtues and vices. Then again, we feel angry or frightened without choosing to,
whereas virtues are choices of some kind, or involve choice. In addition we are
said to be moved with respect to our feelings, but in the case of the virtues
and vices it is not a matter of being moved but of being in a certain
condition. By the same token, the virtues are not capacities either. For, we
are not said to be good or bad, or praised or blamed, simply in virtue of being
capable of feeling. And again, we have capacities by nature, but we are not
good or bad by nature, as noted above. So if the virtues are neither feelings
nor capacities, it remains that they are dispositions. This then is our account
of the kind of thing virtue is.
