Taking someone else's things is an act of theft, which is a sin against the 10th Commandment.

• A. Theft (taking someone else's things)
• B. Charity
• C. Patience
• D. Honesty

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is naming the action that the sentence describes. Taking someone else’s things is theft, the word that directly identifies the act of wrongfully obtaining another’s property. In Christian moral teaching, coveting what belongs to someone else is what the Tenth Commandment warns against, and when that desiring leads to taking, the act is theft. Among the options, only theft names the act precisely. Charity means giving to others, patience is about bearing delays or difficulties, and honesty concerns truthfulness; none of those describe the act of taking someone else’s property. Theft thus best fits the situation, linking the action to the commandment’s prohibition on coveting and stealing.
