There is usually no right or wrong answer, and some things are a little ambiguous, and are hard to classify as a sin or not a sin without more information. Interpret the questions as you want to, but lean towards the action being described as being sinful. These possible sins are meant to make you think, and are a springboard for discussion. The table of sins could also be used to prepare for confession. You can sort it however you want, adding or subtracting things that may be issues in your life.
