Which commandment addresses copying someone else’s homework?

• A. The Seventh Commandment
• B. The Fourth Commandment
• C. The Ninth Commandment
• D. The Fifth Commandment

Answer: (A)

Copying someone else’s homework is a lie in how you present your work and a taking of someone else’s effort as if it were yours. That aligns most directly with the commandment that forbids taking what belongs to another and deceiving about its origin. In a classroom, cheating like this isn’t just about being caught; it disrespects the rights of the person who did the work and breaks trust with the teacher. The other choices don’t address this issue as directly: one focuses on rest and worship, another on honoring parents, and while lying is related in many situations, copying homework is primarily about improper ownership and dishonesty about where the work came from.
