The question presents a composite scenario with four separate statements about exam fines and behavior, followed by a set of answer options that indicate whether each respective statement is False or True. We will evaluate each statement in order and explain why the chosen truth value is correct or incorrect, using careful reasoning and pointing out common misconceptions where relevant.

Statement 1: 
"A student forgot to bring their campus card to an exam and failed to return to the exam centre within the next two working days to present the card to the receptionist. As a result, the student will be fined [select: , $20, $25, $30, $50]."
- Why this is judged False (per option A): The assertion that the student will be fined a specific amount for not presenting the campus card within two working days implies a fixed penalty. In many exam regulations, the fines or penalties for failing to present required identification may depend on timing, the campus policy, and whether the conduct constitutes a repeat offense or a single lapse. If the regulation specifies a range or different penalties based on when the incident is reported, simply stating a single amount (e.g., $20, $25, $30, or $50) without clarifying the exact policy could be incomplete or incorrect. The statement as a blanket claim is therefore not reliably correct without the precise policy reference, which is why the option marking it False is defensible. 
- Why the other potential values would be incorrect in this framing: If the policy defines a specific single amount for this scenario, then any alternative amount would be wrong. If the regulation uses tiered or escalating penalties, the flat “will be fined” with a single listed amount would be inaccurate. The key misconception is thinking the amount is universally fixed rather than policy-specific.

Statement 2: 
"A student was caught with a phone in their pocket during an exam... a [select: , $80, $100, $50, $150] fine will be applied to their account." 
- Why this is judged True (per option B): The statement posits that a fine will be applied for possession of a prohibited item (even if turned off and not used). Many exam regulations treat possession of prohibited items as a rule violation regardless of intent or use, and they specify a monetary fine. If the policy explicitly states that any possession of a prohibited item during an exam incurs a fixed fine (with amounts like $80, $100, $50, or $150 depending on the item and degree of violation), then declaring that a fine will be applied would be true, provided the amount corresponds to the policy. The nuance is that the exact amount would depend on the regulated category for the item and the institution’s schedule. The core point is the existence of a fine for possession, not necessarily the precise dollar figure in isolation.
- Why the other potential values would be incorrect: If the policy states that penalties are contingent on factors such as the item, context, or prior offenses, then asserting a single sure amount would be incomplete. If the policy allows a warning without a fine in certain circumstances (for example, first-time unintentional possession with no disruption), then the statement could be false. The accuracy hinges on the established fines schedule.

Statement 3: 
"A student's phone alarm went off halfway through an exam. After the exam ended, the student admitted that they had forgotten to put their phone on silent but insisted it had been turned off before the exam started. As a result, they will be fined [select: , $150, $200, $100, $120]." 
- Why this is judged True (per option C): The account says the alarm sounded during the exam and, despite claiming the device was turned off before the start, the fact that the alarm occurred and the subsequent admission may trigger a penalty for failing to silence or disable the device according to exam regulations. Some policies impose fines for any audible disruption from a device (even if the device was reportedly off at the outset) because the disruption affected the exam environment. Therefore, it would be reasonable to fine the student, and the exact amount would be drawn from the institution’s fines schedule for such offenses.
- Why the other potential values would be incorrect: If the policy prescribes a specific fine for audible disruptions or for failure to silence devices, the amount must match that schedule. If the policy includes multiple tiers based on whether the device was truly off, whether noise occurred, or whether there was repeated offense, then some dollar amounts could be incorrect. The key misconception would be assuming a uniform penalty without consulting the exact fines table.

Statement 4: 
"Turning off your phone is enough to ensure that no audible sound occurs during an exam."
- Why this is judged False (per option D): The claim that turning off a phone guarantees no audible sound is overly simplistic. Even when devices are turned off, alarms or notifications that force audible alerts can still occur if the device is not configured properly (e.g., alarms set, hidden settings, or battery-related issues). Also, exam regulations may require devices to be completely powered down and stored away to prevent any chance of disruption. Therefore, stating that simply turning off the device is sufficient ignores practical and policy-based safeguards; hence, the statement is False.
- Why the other potential values would be incorrect: If someone argues it is True, they overlook the possibility of residual sounds, failed power-down, or policy requirements to place devices in a non-operational mode or outside the examination area. The correct understanding is that turning off the device reduces risk but may not guarantee zero risk, depending on institutional rules.

Summary of the evaluation pattern:
- Each option is judged based on whether the described rule or outcome matches typical exam regulations, including considerations of intent, device status, and the existence of fines schedules.
- The first statement relies on policy-specific timing and amounts and is not universally true as stated, making False the appropriate choice under general interpretation.
- The second and third statements hinge on the institution’s fines schedule for prohibited items and disruptions; they are true only if the exact fine figures align with that schedule.
- The fourth statement is a common misconception corrected by recognizing that simply turning off a device may not guarantee no audible sound under all policies or in all configurations.
