Expert Solution
Step 1

The question asks to identify the moral reasoning stage of each sibling according to Kohlberg's Levels of Moral Reasoning, which is a theory that describes how individuals develop their moral reasoning and decision-making abilities. There are three levels: pre-conventional, conventional, and post-conventional. Pre-conventional reasoning is characterized by a focus on self-interest and obedience to authority. Conventional reasoning is focused on conforming to social norms and fulfilling one's duties to society. Post-conventional reasoning is characterized by a concern for universal ethical principles and the rights of individuals.
