Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jeremy is facing a decision that involves moral considerations (such as whether it is right to break the law and disturb the peace), legal considerations (such as the legal limit for exhaust system noise), and ethical considerations (such as his obligation to provide safe and legal services to his customers). The decision will impact not only Jeremy but also society, as it could contribute to noise pollution and disturb the peace. Therefore, Jeremy must carefully consider all of these factors and make a responsible decision.
