What four actions are examples of moral evil?

Natural disasters, theft, lies, and neglect
Murder, theft, terrorism, and assault
Diseases, accidents, poverty, and suffering
Illnesses, earthquakes, deceit, and abuse

The correct answer is: Natural disasters, theft, lies, and neglect

Moral evil refers to actions that are considered to be morally wrong, and often involve harm or suffering towards others. Option A is the only answer that includes actions that are considered purely malicious or malevolent, such as murder, theft, lies, and neglect. Natural disasters (option C) and illnesses (option D) are not actions caused by human intent, and therefore cannot be considered moral evils. While poverty and suffering (option C) are unfortunate circumstances, they are not direct actions towards others and therefore do not fit the definition of moral evil. Similarly, deceit and abuse (option D) are actions that may cause harm, but they are not necessarily considered morally wrong in all situations. Therefore, A is the most appropriate answer.
