Verified by Toppr

The author in the passage talks about the life of pirates and how they murder passengers and crew of ships and boats they capture. However, the author believes that whether civilised or savage , they are under the influence of remorse and have interwoven in their constitution a moral sense which secretly condemns them for the atrocious actions performed by them. Therefore, the most apt answer is option A) a universal conscience that transcends cultures.
Option B is incorrect as the passage does not mention any deity. The passage also does not mention a higher court or potential power of international law and so options C and D are also incorrect. The author talks about the moral sense that is present in everyone but does not mention the importance of nurture in the development of a moral code and so option E is also incorrect.
