Answer 1

The conclusion that Peter Singer reaches in "Famine, Affluence, and Morality" is:

**A. We ought to prevent as much suffering as we can without sacrificing something else of comparable moral importance.**

Singer argues for a moral obligation to provide assistance to those in need, emphasizing that affluent individuals have a responsibility to help prevent suffering in a way that does not demand significant sacrifices of comparable moral importance.
