If the instructor follows the ethical principle of justice, they should allow Sally to use the dictionary. Denying her the opportunity to use the dictionary could lead to unfair treatment and put her at a disadvantage compared to other students in the class. It is important for instructors to provide equal opportunities for every student, including those who may require additional resources or accommodations to succeed. The other options (B and C) would violate the principle of justice by putting Sally at a disadvantage or allowing other students to have an unfair advantage.
