true
false

Explanation:

• Question 1: Moral relativism indeed holds that moral judgments are relative to a standpoint and no single standpoint is uniquely privileged.
• Question 2: Plato was not a proponent of moral relativism. He believed in objective moral truths (e.g., the Form of the Good).
• Question 3: Descriptive relativism is about describing the diversity of moral beliefs (a factual claim), not a normative claim about how we ought to judge.
• Question 4: Ethical non - cognitivism (e.g., emotivism) claims moral statements are expressions of emotions, while moral relativism allows for moral claims to be true relative to a standpoint.
