Answer 1

The consequence of the actions is that Erica may be dismissed immediately from the college.

Fro the second question would be choice c. They might be dismissed from college.

Explanation:

In the first question, what Erica is doing is plagiarism. It would have a negative impact in her student's career as well as her professional career.

She might also face legal issue and would have to pay fines or penalties. She might not get admission in any other college, and will also face problems in finding a right job in the job market, as her credibility has been destroyed.

She might be able to make an appeal on academic integrity to the Executive director , but as her credibility has been compromised , there might not be anything that can be done to reverse it.

In the second question Misty, might be dismissed from the college , if she hasn't informed the authorities of her absence. If she had given a written leave application in the very first place, then she would have been excused for her absence.
