Question: If a security guard makes an error while writing in their notebook, what is the correct way to fix it?

Answer options:

• Use white-out to cover errors so the report looks professional.
• Tear out the page and start over to ensure no errors are visible. ✅ Draw a single line through the error and initial it.
• Scribble over the error until it is completely blacked out.

Correct answer: Draw a single line through the error and initial it.

Explanation: A security guard's notebook is a legal document. Entries should be chronological, written in ink, and any mistakes should be crossed out with a single line (initialed) so the original text remains legible. Correction fluid (white-out) is forbidden.
