It can mean "to put" "to place" "to have". In this sentence it means something like "has": "If a book is hard going, it ought to be good. If it *has* a complex moral situation, it ought to be even better" I hope this helps!

There are many words for skin colors. These 4 are for the main races of people: Black (such as Africans) White (such as Europeans) Yellow (such as Asians) Red (Native American or indigenous people) (In America, people say "black" and "white" a lot, but "yellow" and "red" are rude. It's better to say "Asian" or "Native American".) Other words describe shades of color, such as: Tan, pale, dark I hope this helps! :)
