Prescriptivity claims that an ought judgment

The two differ, since the ought judgment is universalizable but the plain imperative isn't.

2 is correct!

    { 1 } - is identical in meaning to the corresponding plain imperative.
    { 2 } - logically entails the corresponding imperative.
    { 3 } - is a prescription coming from God.
    { 4 } - all of the above.
    { 5 } - none of the above.

Moral judgments tell us what to do, and thus logically entail imperatives. "You ought to do this" logically entails the imperative "Do this."

In accepting a moral judgment, we aren't just describing or categorizing; instead, we're prescribing how to live. So a moral belief logically commits us to acting in certain ways and wanting others to do so too.
