  • It looks like a mistake to me. It was good of you to give us context, but can you give us even more? It might be a technical term.

It means something will be revealed. bare is like exposed, if something can be clearly seen. So instead of put to bare you could also say their skill will be revealed. The sentence is describing a complex moment, that will show the ethical reasoning skill of someone.

  • That's an interesting interpretation, but "put to bare" is not idiomatic or grammatically correct.
