In this question, we’re evaluating what Joseph did wrong in preparing his assessment, and we must consider each option on its own merits.
Option 1: 'Used a grammar tool without properly acknowledging this in his assessment submission.' This raises concerns about academic honesty and transparency. Even if the grammar tool improves clarity, failing to acknowledge such assistance can violate submission rubrics, integrity policies, or citation expectations. The underlying issue is not the tool’s function but the lack of disclosure about external help, which can misrepresent authorship and effort.
Option 2: 'Used an AI chatbot to help him summarise the sources despite the instructions prohibiting this, and failed to acknowledge this use.' Here, the key problem is twofold: (a) there were explicit prohibitions on using AI chatbot assistance, and (b) he did not acknowledge having used it. Violating explicit instructions undermines the assignment’s intended process and assessment criteria, and nondisclosure further compounds the breach by masking the extent of external input.
Option 3: 'Used a spellchecking tool without properly acknowledging this in his assessment submission.' Spellchecking tools are typically considered auxiliary rather than substantive help in content creation. If the policy allows them or treats them as universally acceptable, the lack of explicit acknowledgment might be less clearly wrong. However, since the focus in the provided scenario centers on disclosure of more substantive aids (grammar tools and AI summarization), this option hinges on how the policy views spellchecking disclosure. If the policy does not require acknowledgment for basic spellcheck, this would be less problematic; if it does require, then it would be a violation. Given the emphasis of the other two items, this option is generally viewed as less severe or not necessarily a breach in many academic settings, explaining why it is not selected as a core violation here.
Option 4: 'Joseph has done nothing wrong because the substantial effort in completing the final draft of his assessment was his own.' This statement attributes full authorship and effort to Joseph and discounts any external assistance. If policies permit external tools or acknowledge that due diligence and originality were maintained, this could be true. However, since the scenario highlights explicit prohibitions on certain tools and the lack of acknowledgment for some help, this option conflicts with those premises and would typically be considered incorrect in light of the described rules.

Overall, the first two options align with clear breaches of typical assessment integrity rules—unacknowledged tool use and disallowed AI assistance—while the third depends on policy about spellchecking acknowledgments, and the fourth directly contradicts the premise of a rule-based concern with his preparation. The contrast between what is prohibited and what is disclosed is central to judging each choice.
