Question and options
You have been caught red-handed in an office while looking into a file marked 'Strictly Confidential'. What will be your most reasonable action in the situation?
- To feel sheepish and embarrassed
- To admit to the crime
- To offer a logical alibi
- To stand rooted to the ground
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - To admit to the crime
Once caught in the act, the honest and reasonable course is to admit what one has done and accept the consequences. Offering an alibi would be a lie when one has been seen at the file, and feeling sheepish or standing rooted to the spot are reactions, not actions that deal with the situation.
