Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow
The surgeon deposited it in her arms. She imprinted her cold, white lips passionately on its forehead; passed her hands over her face; gazed wildly around; shuddered; fell back – and died. They chafed her breast. hands, temples; but the blood had stopped forever. They talked of hope and comfort. They had been strangers too long. 'It's all over, Mrs. Thingummy!', said the surgeon at last.
Dickens, Oliver Twist

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow
And the creature run from the cur?
There thou mightst behold the great image of authority: a dog's obeyed in office. Thou
rascal beadle, hold thy bloody hand!
Why dost thou lash that whore? Strip thine own back;
Thou hotly lust'st to use her in that kind
For which thou whipp'st her. The usurer hangs the cozener.
Through tatter'd clothes small vices do appear;
Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold,
And the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks;
Arm it in rags, a pigmy's straw doth pierce it.
King Lear
The two sentences in the lines from "Through tatter'd clothes ... " to " ... straw doth pierce it" deal with two foibles, (i) vice and (ii) sin. About these two, the speaker says that

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow
Logic cannot have any empirical part; that is, a part in which the universal and necessary laws of thought should rest on grounds taken from experience; otherwise it would not be logic, i.e, a canon for the understanding or the reason, valid for all thought, and capable of demonstration. Natural and moral philosophy, on the contrary, can each have their empirical part, since the former has to determine the laws of nature as an object of experience; the latter, the laws of the human will, so far as it is affected by nature: the former, however, being laws according to which everything does happen; the latter, laws according to which everything ought to happen. Ethics, however, must also consider the conditions under which what ought to happen frequently does not. Immanuel Kant
Based on the given passage which two of the following statements are correct?
A. For natural philosophy, nature influences the laws.
B. For moral philosophy, nature is to be experienced.
C. Natural philosophy does not describe how things actually do happen.
D. Moral philosophy accounts for what should be.
