You were feeling really sick during an exam and couldn’t concentrate, so you copied a few answers from your friend sitting next to you. You told yourself you were just trying to come out on top in a situation that wasn’t fair. Is it cheating? (get away with, hold your head up)), You were really tempted to look at your notes during an online test because no one was watching. You did it once, told yourself it didn’t count, and no one noticed. If you get away with it, is it still wrong? (not the done thing, i'd opt for/to)), You forgot to reference one source in your essay, but you knew your professor probably wouldn’t check. You decided to bend the rules just this once. Harmless mistake or academic dishonesty? (disgraceful, crucial)), You left a few made-up references on your CV. You needed a job desperately after moving to another country. You knew they wouldn't check. (play fair, rely on ...), You sold a used phone online and didn’t mention that the battery drains quickly because you thought it might put the buyer off. They never complained. Did you con them? (not the done thing, put sb off)), During a work project, you barely contributed but still accepted equal credit. You didn’t technically break any rules - you just stayed quiet and let others do the work. Is that cheating or just smart survival? (inclined to, inappropriate)), You used AI to come up with promotion ideas for your client's business. You didn't let them know, but they didn't ask either. Is that bending the rules? (tend to, deceive)), You noticed a cashier gave you too much change. You considered giving it back… but decided to stay quiet since it wasn’t your mistake. You got away with it. Is that stealing? (consequence, unless)), You intentionally left out a small flaw in your job interview story because you thought it might put the interviewer off. Everyone else probably does the same. Acceptable self-presentation? (win at all costs, get ahead)), You didn’t technically lie on your dating profile, but you used photos from five years ago and avoided mentioning certain facts. Is that conning someone or just marketing yourself? (accuse of, providing that))
