Answer to Question 1

Answer: You face an ethical dilemma when you must choose between two or more conflicting alternatives that are not completely right or completely wrong. An ethical lapse, on the other hand, occurs when you make a choice that is clearly unethical and or illegal. An ethical dilemma can lead to an ethical lapse but doesn't necessarily do so.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: An ethical dilemma involves choosing among alternatives that are not clear-cut. All choices could be both ethical and valid or perhaps the alternatives lie somewhere in the gray area between clearly right or clearly wrong.
