Question 2 • Fall 24 American Government/Civics IC

Which scenario would be considered a crime?

Answer
A
failing to stop at a stop sign
B
leaving trash bags in your basement
C
lying to your parents
D
sending an offensive text message

Explanation

Failing to stop at a stop sign violates traffic law and can be treated as a crime, such as a traffic offense. Leaving trash in your basement and lying to your parents are not generally crimes. An offensive text message alone is not necessarily a crime, though certain threatening or harassing messages can be illegal.
