Being the same as everyone else

Being worse than everyone else

Not standing up for what's right

Being afraid to speak up against injustice

Answer 1

Not standing up for what's right

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "indifference" is generally used to signify a lack of concern or interest or caring. It has nothing to do with conformity or comparison or fear or morality.

We believe the best choice here is "not standing up for what is right." In that instance, indifference would relate to not having interest in what is right or wrong, rather than having a reaction against what is right or being afraid of standing up.
