School Safety First Trimester Practice Exam

Which term best describes a direct acknowledgment of guilt?

Confession Admission Denial Allegation

Correct Answer:

Confession

Explanation:

This question tests your understanding of terms for admitting wrongdoing. A direct acknowledgment of guilt is best described as a confession. A confession explicitly states that the person did the wrongdoing and often includes details about what happened. An admission can be more general, simply acknowledging that something occurred or that a fact is true, but it doesn’t always carry the full, explicit implication of guilt. Denial is the opposite—refusing guilt. Allegation is a claim or accusation that someone did something, not an admission by the person involved. So the term that most precisely captures openly admitting guilt is confession.
