Which term describes showing no concern that others might be hurt?

• A. Callous
• B. Strata
• C. Amicable
• D. Contempt

Answer: (A)

Showing no concern that others might be hurt is described by callousness. It means being insensitive to others’ feelings or suffering and lacking empathy, so you don’t consider or care about the harm your actions might cause. This is why callous fits best here.

Amicable would mean friendly and easy to get along with, which is the opposite of being indifferent. Strata refers to layers or social levels, not a mindset about others’ welfare. Contempt involves disdain or scorn toward someone, a harsh attitude, but it isn’t the precise sense of lacking concern for others’ well-being that “callous” conveys.
