When you are living with your ........... values and principles you can be straightforward, honest and ..........

When you live by your core values and principles, it means you follow the beliefs that truly define who you are. These values guide your decisions and actions, helping you stay honest and true to yourself. The phrase "up-front" means being open, direct, and honest in communication. When someone has strong values, they don’t feel the need to hide their thoughts or actions—they can speak and act with confidence.

The other options don’t fit as well because "inherited values" refer to beliefs passed down from others, which may not always align with personal honesty. "Innate" values are natural but don’t necessarily make a person direct, and "cultural values" come from society rather than personal conviction. That’s why "core - up-front" is the best choice.
