In a trash basket she was emptying after school, Carol found a copy of the answer key for an exam she was scheduled to take

the next day. Instead of using it, she returned it to the teacher, explaining how she found it. When the teacher asked why sha
did not use it to cheat. Carol said, "I just think it is wrong to cheat. When I take tests I am telling the teacher how much I
really know. If I cheated it would be a form of lying. I believe lying is wrong. I won't lie even if it might help me. Is Carol using reasoning based on consequences or ethical rules here? Why?
