Answer 1

In "Famine, Affluence, and Morality," Peter Singer considers various objections to his utilitarian view on global poverty and our obligations to assist those in need. Among the options provided, the objection Singer most clearly addresses is:

D. Too drastic of a revision to our moral scheme.

Singer argues against the notion that his views would require a radical overhaul of our moral beliefs, suggesting instead that the moral implications of his arguments should lead to an expansion of our current moral considerations rather than a complete revision.
