When these questions appear, I get really confused and have a hard time interpreting them, because they are so abstract. It feels like the author is trying to say something very all knowing and wise, even on silly subjects, but the language is hard to decode. Especially when morality comes up. Is there a way to train myself to solidify these concepts, or any techniques you can use. Greatly appreciated!

As a Philosophy major, this, this is the answer. Translate any moral principles into scenarios that are easily understood. After reading it ask yourself: What action are they advocating in what situation? Remember that and don't try to kill yourself over the exact words of the argument. If they ask you to apply that principle to another scenario (which I've found is the case in most of the philosophy stimuli) just try and match the scenario you've thought of in your head to the answers.

Abstract philosophical stimuli are hard! I recommend coming up with an example to make the abstract concept concrete.
For example:
The only justification for one to launder funds from the rich is to distribute such funds evenly to disadvantaged populations.
Concrete Example: Robin Hood.
It takes a while to get used to, but it helps me immensely when parsing out abstract concepts. Hope this helps!
Thank you!!! I feel like this is a great way to approach it.

Read about moral philosophy, nothing more to it. They're almost always cookie cutter moral principles.

Both, but mainly LR.

Id say something helpful is to just accept what the author or stim is telling you is moral or not moral as true. If the author says something random like not eating ice cream is morally incorrect, then dont overthink it and try to just use their point of view despite any concepts you have in your head
