Answer 1

Answer: Sample Response: Last month, a friend wanted to copy off my test, but I said no because I know my school has a zero-tolerance cheating policy. I was angry at my friend because I had studied hard and I thought it was unfair that she wanted me to risk getting a zero by letting her copy. I used a firm voice and assertive body language to let her know she could not change my mind.
