Answers

say the following lines or something similar in your discussion for the prompt:
Candidate A: Hey, do you know our friend, Manisha's(You can change the name)
500 rupees have been nicked. She had brought it to buy a few stationery
articles from the school shop!
Candidate B: Don't tell me there is another theft in our class! How can you be so sure it is stealing? She might have dropped the money somewhere from her pocket!?
Candidate A: Nope, she confided to me it was in her satchel's pocket. It is really giving our class a bad name. It is the fifth incident this month. We are going to be notorious as 'class of thieves'!
Candidate B: Hey tell me one thing. Why did the other students not complain to madam?
Candidate A: Because they were not sure. They thought they had dropped it! Can there be so many similar dropping cases? Why don't you understand? We must do something. I think we need to talk to our classmates and class teachers.
Candidate B: I smell something fishy too. Yes, we must. Think of the poor victims. What an inconvenience and loss they must have felt! Such incidents might encourage other students to indulge in more such acts of pinching.
Candidate A: I have an idea to check such incidents. We can volunteer ourselves as watchmen for the recess. Most of the nicking instances have been reported after the break. We can stand as guards in the class during the break.
Candidate B: Very bright! We can also request the principal through our class teacher to have a CCTV camera installed in our class. The very presence of the camera will discourage the delinquent students.
Candidate A: Do you suspect anyone in particular as to who could have nicked her money?
Candidate B: No, I don’t. How can I? We need to catch the culprit red-handed!
Candidate A: OK, let's go our class teacher and give her the news!
Candidate B: But let's go to Manisha first to be with her. I have some money with me. I will give it to her in case she needs it. We will also take her to the madam along with us. She can give firsthand account of the incident to the madam. If required, we will go to the Principal's office.
