Explanation:

Question 13

In Greek virtue ethics, "virtue" (aretê) is best understood as "excellence". Pleasure is related to hedonism, character is related but not the direct meaning, and self - interest is more of an egoistic concept. So the correct option is about excellence.

Aristotle's "eudaimonia" is not just pleasure, honor, or wealth. It refers to a complete and vigorous life (a life of flourishing). So we choose the option that matches this definition.

Aristotle's theory of vice states that vice occurs in two forms: deficiency and excess. Virtue is the mean between these two. The other options (good/evil, mental/physical, social/individual) do not match Aristotle's view on vice.

Answer:

c. excellence
