5 Why is it necessary to consider the intention of the doer in order to morally evaluate an act?

Simply that if the doer accidentally does a good deed while intending either something foul or even something of neutral moral value, then that act cannot be said to have been done with great moral principles. Conversely, if the doer mistakenlycommits a morally questionable faux pas then that act should not be taken as proof of a doubtful morality in the doer. (Although it could be used as an argument for the stupidity or cupidity of the doer!)

True or false The content of a message can appeal to consumers in one way and that is rationally?
False- The content of a message can appeal to consumers in a number of different ways-rationally, emotionally, and morally. Rational appeal focuses on how the product can benefit the user, or how it is in his or her self-interest to buy it. Emotional appeal uses feelings to motivate customers to buy. A moral appeal is directed at a person's sense of ethics.
What does it mean when you have no room to talk?
It means the same thing as if you were to replace "you have no room to talk" with "you are in no better position to comment on the subject," Because you are in the same position as the other person; or have the same faults; or have comitted the same act as the other person, it is often seen as morally unjust to place blame on them. If another person has mud on thier pants and they are making fun of you because you have mud on your pants, they have no room to talk. If you cheated on your boyfriend and are getting mad at him for checking out other girls, you have no room to talk.
Is it ok if you did sexual favors for your teacher for a good grade?
BIG NO!! It is absolutely not "okay" for a student to trade sexual favors for a good grade. The student who provided the sexual favors needs to find a way to have more respect for him or herself and perhaps even study and learn the material for whatever grade they get, or choose not to study and fail the class. The teacher should be reported, fired, and charged with whatever crimes have been committed. Not only is it morally wrong, in many states it is illegal, regardless of the ages of the student and teacher. Because of the special relationship it is considered very wrong.

Can an act be morally right but unlawful?
In philosophy and theology we speak of "human acts". Since human beings have an intellect and will, the main faculties of the soul, all acts are are human acts. This is because every act we do is done with intention, either implicit or explicit and thus is a human act. Acts that we do while the will is suspended or forced or damaged, such as cases were we might be sleeping, tortured and under extreme duress or inebriated or psychologically affected, are not human acts. Any act that is done in line with the natural law, observing the laws of God and with a good intention would be a moral act, as in morally correct. Any action that is done in defiance of the natural law, or laws of God, or is poisoned with a bad intention, is an immoral act, and is morally wrong. Often, it depends on circumstances and intention as to whether an act is moral. For instance, if you kill someone, this is obviously a morally evil act, however, if it is done in self defense, this act is morally correct. Moral theology is the study that is solely considered with human acts and the circumstances and intentions that affect them. Catholic priests must study moral theology during their seminary studies, specifically as part of their training to correct administer and advise souls in the sacrament of confession. Therefore, to specifically address the question, any act for it to be morally right must be a human act, so indeed, any right act is a moral act by definition.
