Woes of a Mother Alignment Hits

I'm trying to get more chaotic on my cleric (was greatly, got a huge undocumented lawful evil hit that dropped my bonus 3%, I hate this system). The Woes of a Mother quest in Murk has two dialogue options that give hits, but the first ones are not documented and I'm unsure which will give evil and which will give chaotic. Here:

No shift- You say, 'She wants you to leave this world.'

Lawful- You say, 'She wants you to leave this world of the living, to go where the dead belong rather than lingering here beyond your time.'

Good- You say, 'She wants you to be free from your torment, free from this world... She loves you, she doesn't want you to keep suffering like this.'

???- You say, 'She wants you to go away forever and never come back so she can stop whining about your worseless existence.'

???- You say, 'She wants you to go away and stop weighing on her mind, so she can move on with her life already!

The lawful and good are very obvious. All of the hits in the second dialogue options are very obvious (the chaotic one there mentions how you're only interested in what you personally will get out of helping the froglok mother). My issue is that one of the ??? hits is chaotic and one is evil, but they have virtually the same tone/mentality/whatever in my mind so I have no idea which one is which. Does anyone know for sure which option is chaotic?
 
#4 after reading the answers in the 2nd part, I think this might be the GOOD option?!?
#3 is most definitely EVIL (Does it really read "worseless existence" ingames?!?)
#2 Could be very well CHAOTIC in my book.
#1 LAWFUL w/o question

Overall, these answers are very ambigious and I'm not quite sure wich is wich myself. Mind you, all this is just player assumptions!
 
Yeah it does say worseless, at least according to the wiki. I haven't started the quest yet to see for myself because I'm waiting until I'm reasonably sure which one is chaotic.

I suspect that the alignment hits are the same D# for each dialogue choice (IE neutral is first, lawful is the third, good is the fourth). But I don't really want to take that chance, and I think the dialogue options need to be improved if that is the only clear way to tell which is which.
 
I interpret the alignment the same as Nwaij so hopefully the wiki is wrong? Bioware games struggle with and frequently get these types of things wrong and they probably have a room full of philosophy majors locked away somewhere churning this stuff out. It seems like alignment responses typically have keywords (freedom, order, worthless, etc...) thrown in that could be emphasized somehow (CAPS, probably) to help alleviate the ambiguity. Does anyone else thing that sounds like a great idea for an official thread which rewards fame for player recommended edits??? For most quests it would just be identifying the keyword or pulling out a thesaurus and plugging in a keyword, so great crowdsource material!
 
Okay I just said to hell with it and did the one I thought was more likely to be chaotic, and I was correct. Grinkles is being a pal and updating the wiki.
 
Which one was it? 'Cause I would have picked, "You say, 'She wants you to go away and stop weighing on her mind, so she can move on with her life already!" as chaotic.
