Ethical Reasoning – Consistency of actions: “People who speak too much against dowry are those who had taken it themselves.” Decide which conclusions follow: (I) It is easier said than done; (II) People have double standards.

Given data

• Premise: Those vocally opposing dowry have themselves accepted it → hypocrisy indicated.
• Conclusion I: 'Easier said than done'—advocacy is easier than practice.
• Conclusion II: People maintain double standards.

Concept/ApproachThe premise asserts a disconnect between speech and action, which supports both the proverb in I and the hypocrisy claim in II.

Step-by-step evaluation• If speakers act contrary to their words, this exemplifies 'easier said than done' → I follows.• Acting against professed principles is a double standard → II follows.

Final AnswerBoth I and II follow.
