Let’s go through each situation one by one to decide if the person is being honest or not.
---
1. Sam cheats on his spelling test.
Cheating means he didn’t do the work himself — he looked at someone else’s answers or used help he wasn’t supposed to. That’s not telling the truth about what he knows.
→ So, is he being honest?
No

2. Jane tells her teacher that she used her pen.
If Jane really did use her own pen (and didn’t borrow or take someone else’s), then she’s telling the truth. The picture shows her handing something to the teacher — maybe returning a pen? But the sentence says “she used her pen,” which sounds like she’s just stating a fact. Unless there’s more info saying she lied, we assume she’s telling the truth.
→ So, is she being honest?
Yes
*(Note: If this were tricky and meant she borrowed a pen but said it was hers, that would be dishonest — but based on what’s written, we take it at face value.)*

3. Tom played sick to stay home.
“Played sick” means he pretended to be sick when he wasn’t. That’s lying to get out of school.
→ So, is he being honest?
No
---
4. Ben ate the cookie and blamed his sister.
He did something wrong (ate the cookie) and then lied by saying his sister did it. Blaming someone else for your mistake is dishonest.
→ So, is he being honest?
No
---
5. Kelly told mummy that she broke the vase.
She admitted she did it — even though it might get her in trouble. Telling the truth when you’ve made a mistake is being honest.
→ So, is she being honest?
Yes

Final Answer:
Sam: No
Jane: Yes
Tom: No
Ben: No
Kelly: Yes
