Alexa:
...You misspelled "definition" in every post. (-5)
"probity:" your parents HEVE passed this on TO you.....(-1)
Your sentence for scrupulous does not help define the word. If Bertha is scrupulous only in front of her parents, she is being deceitful...which is quite different that what scrupulous means. (-1)
