______________ in group work has to do with both inter- and intrapersonal honesty

• A. Justice
• B. Fidelity
• C. Veracity
• D. Beneficience

Answer: (C)

Veracity is the commitment to truthfulness in communication. In group work, honesty shows up both in how you interact with others and in how you relate to yourself. Interpersonally, veracity means sharing accurate information, avoiding lies or distortions, and being straightforward with feedback and updates. Intrapersonally, it means you’re honest with yourself about your abilities, limits, and contributions, aligning what you believe with what you say and do. This dual honesty builds trust, accountability, and smoother collaboration within the group. For example, acknowledging when you don’t understand a point or when you can’t meet a deadline demonstrates veracity in action. The other terms describe related ethical ideas—justice = fairness, fidelity = loyalty to commitments, beneficence = doing good—but they don’t specifically capture truth-telling in both how you relate to others and to yourself as veracity does.
