Integrity is the quality of being faithful to one's convictions and acting with impartiality.

• A. Ethics
• B. Civility
• C. Integrity
• D. Duty

Answer: (C)

Integrity means staying true to your own convictions and acting with impartiality. This combination is exactly what the statement describes: you don’t compromise your beliefs, and you apply judgments fairly to all people and situations. Ethics is the broader system of right and wrong that guides behavior, but it doesn’t by itself specify how faithfully you adhere to those beliefs in every situation. Civility focuses on polite conduct, which is important but doesn’t require unwavering fidelity to your personal moral standards or impartial decision-making. Duty refers to obligations tied to a role or rule, which may compel action regardless of personal beliefs and may not always involve impartiality. So, integrity best captures both fidelity to convictions and fair, unbiased action.
