Answer:

Level 2: conventional morality

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three levels of moral reasoning according to Kohlberg and they are;

(1). Level one(Pre-conventional morality): this level of moral reasoning is found most in children between the ages of five years to nine years old,or slightly above nine years old. Moral reasoning is based on adult moral code. What children see that adults do, and the rules and regulations set for them by adults.

(2). Level two(conventional morality): this is is a level of morality exhibit by adolescent and adults. Mostly,what is right is based on what you you can get. It involves an equal exchange between people. People look out for their own needs. THIS IS THE CASE OF THE SPEAKER IN THE QUESTION.

(3).Level three(post-conventional): this type of reasoning occur in adult and it is based on principle set by individual(s).
