The statement 'There is no place for a second place attitude' is described as the #1 pollutant in society.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not stated
• D. Not applicable

Answer: (A)

This item tests understanding how a claim about ethical harm is presented and ranked. If the material explicitly describes the idea that a “second place attitude” is the top pollutant in society, the statement aligns with the author’s ranking, making it true. The metaphor of a pollutant conveys that this attitude undermines fair play, integrity, and social well-being, and labeling it as the #1 pollutant signals it’s viewed as the greatest ethical threat among the issues discussed. Therefore, choosing true is appropriate because the source makes that specific ranking. The other options would contradict or negate what the text states about the severity of this attitude.
