□ by reducing the value of your degree.
□ by increasing the probability that you will be hired by a reputable employer.

Explanation:

• The first option is incorrect because cheating can have broader impacts beyond the cheater.
• The second option is correct: If a class is graded on a curve, a cheater's inflated score can raise the overall average, making other students' grades relatively lower.
• The third option is correct: If cheating is prevalent in an educational institution, the perceived value of the degrees from that institution can decrease as employers or others may question the authenticity of the learning and achievements.
• The fourth option is incorrect: Cheating by others would not increase one's hireability; in fact, it could decrease it if the institution's reputation is harmed or if the individual's own achievements are seen as less valid.
