Which of the following statements about virtue is most accurate?

• A. Virtue is only about external behavior.
• B. Virtue is irrelevant to daily life.
• C. Virtue is a temporary feeling.
• D. Virtue is a stable habit of choosing the good cultivated through practice and grace.

Answer: (D)

Virtue is a stable habit of choosing the good that grows through practice and grace. This means it’s about more than just how you look on the outside—it's about developing an inner disposition that makes you consistently pick what’s right. When you practice good decisions—telling the truth, helping others, acting bravely—these choices become easier and form your character. It’s not a temporary feeling that comes and goes, but something enduring that shapes daily life. It isn’t irrelevant to daily life either; every everyday decision can reflect and strengthen virtue as your habits solidify. So the best description is that virtue is a stable habit of choosing the good cultivated through practice and grace.
