Option 1 -> The passage explicitly states virtue comes from "an inner standard, not exterior factors," contradicting this option.
Option 2 -> The passage directly states "Virtue is consistent, unchanging, and independent of temptation," matching this description perfectly.
Option 3 -> The passage clearly mentions "Virtue is not situational," which directly contradicts the idea of being circumstantial.
Option 4 -> Virtue should come from "an inner standard, not exterior factors or material possessions," as stated in the passage.
Hence, Option 2: consistent and steady, irrespective of temptation -> The passage uses the bribery example to illustrate that true virtue means resisting all temptations regardless of their magnitude, and explicitly defines virtue as "consistent, unchanging, and independent of temptation" -> correct
