When Held states that the ethics of care pays attention to the relationships between "particular" people, which of the following is, then, something Held would state is true about our moral obligations?

1. We only have moral obligations to those for whom we currently care; people outside our existing relationships are not people to whom we have moral obligations; the ethics of care gives us no instruction on how to treat others outside of these existing relationships

2. We ought to view all persons the same through a moral lens; we have the same obligations, to the same degree, to all persons regardless of who they are or whether we share a relationship with them

3. Given what Held states about partiality in moral decision making, we can discount the needs of those with whom we do not share relationships of care.

4. We ought to take the moral insights we learn from within caring relationships we have with particular people and extend those insights outward toward those with whom we do not currently share relationships
