Two firefighters have come off a long shift and are tired. The next day a required training evaluation is scheduled. One firefighter fails the test, finishing the course one minute behind the other. The superior officer didn’t record the time and asks both firefighters for their time. Is it acceptable for the firefighters to give the same time because they both know that the long shift was the reason the one firefighter failed? True or false Please answer ASAP

Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not acceptable for the firefighters to give the same time, as the superior officer is responsible for recording the time and it is not honest to provide false information. The long shift may be a reason for the failure, but it is not an excuse to provide false information.
