Explanation
“Identifying certain exigencies in which the obligation toward truthfulness should be...”
This suggests not absolute, but limited or adjusted.
“qualified” fits best (C), meaning restricted or modified.
A. venerated = revered (does not fit)
B. castigated = criticized (too strong)
“mutual confidence and ethical consistency are ... resources, as fragile as they are difficult to restore”
This implies they are valuable/precious.
D. recondite = obscure (no)
E. estimable = worthy/valuable (This fits)
F. mundane = ordinary (contradicts importance)
“Sustainable only through an unwavering regard for ...”
This should relate to truth or honesty.
G. veridicality = truthfulness (Fits)
H. duplicity = deceit (opposite)
I. utilitarianism = ethical theory (does not match the context)
Answer: C,E,G
