  • A.Similar moral principles do not exist in all societies : Cultural Absolutism
  • B.There is extreme variations in customs, taboos and so on from culture to culture : Cultural relativism
  • C.Freedom is compatible with determinism : Hard determinism
  • D.There is no causality at all : Soft determinism

Answer: B

The correctly matched pair is extreme variation in customs, taboos and so on from culture to culture : cultural relativism, so the answer is B.

Cultural relativism holds that moral beliefs and practices differ widely from society to society, and that they should be judged within each culture.

In A, the claim that similar moral principles do not exist in all societies is the relativist's, not the absolutist's. In C, the view that freedom is compatible with determinism is soft determinism (compatibilism) and not hard determinism. In D, the claim that there is no causality at all is indeterminism, not soft determinism.
