A major issue recently has been people cheating on their school exams. In the last week alone, four students have been caught with answer sheets prepared before the test. It is very sad to see students acting so dishonestly and even sadder to see them fail their exams because of cheating. Moreover, the cheat sheets that have been taken are very well made. Clearly, students have put in a great deal of effort to create them. If students had just focused on studying instead of trying to cheat, they probably would have done well on their own. The faculty is holding meetings this week to find out what they can do to fix this problem. They have already decided to fail any student who is caught cheating and are considering additional actions. Realistically, the students need to help themselves. Students at this school 10 need to realize how dishonest and unfair it is to cheat. Everyone needs to follow the rules for the rest of exams. That means that students shouldn't have cheat sheets, shouldn't look at the papers of others, and shouldn't use any other methods of cheating. 2. What does the author imply about the students using cheat sheets?

• They are not prepared enough for their exams.

• They should have to leave school after the exams.

• They are shamelessly hurting the school's reputation.

• They spent their time and effort doing the wrong thing.
