Let’s go through each question one by one. We’ll think carefully about what each question is asking and pick the best answer.
---
Question 1:
*An untrue story that is told for fun or entertainment is called a...*
Options:
a) mystery
b) fantasy
→ A “mystery” is a story where something is hidden or unknown, and you try to figure it out — but it can be true or false.
→ A “fantasy” is made-up, often with magic or impossible things, and it’s told for fun — like dragons or talking animals. That fits “untrue story for fun.”
✔ So, the correct answer is
b) fantasy.

Question 2:
*If you do not tell the truth because you do not know the truth,*
Options:
a) you are making a mistake.
b) you are a bad person.
→ If you don’t know the truth, and you say something wrong, it’s not on purpose — it’s an honest error. That’s a *mistake*.
→ Being a “bad person” means you’re trying to hurt or trick someone — which isn’t happening here.
✔ So, the correct answer is
a) you are making a mistake.

Question 3:
*Lying is trying to make another person believe something that is not true.*
Options:
a) True
b) False
→ This is the definition of lying! You say something you know is not true, hoping someone else will believe it.
✔ So, the correct answer is
a) True.

Question 4:
*Is it possible to tell lies with your actions?*
Options:
a) Yes
b) No
→ Think about this: if you pretend to be sick so you don’t have to go to school, but you’re actually fine — that’s lying with your actions (like faking a cough).
→ Or if you nod yes when you mean no — that’s also lying without words.
✔ So, the correct answer is
a) Yes.
---
Question 5:
*When you have lied, what makes things worse?*
Options:
a) Admitting that you have lied.
b) Telling more lies.
→ If you admit you lied, you’re being honest now — that helps fix things.
→ But if you tell MORE lies to cover up the first lie, it gets bigger and harder to fix. That makes things worse.
✔ So, the correct answer is
b) Telling more lies.

Part II, Question 1:
*Candies are sweet.* → Is this true or a lie?
→ Candies are made with sugar — they taste sweet. Everyone knows this!
→ So this statement is TRUE.
✔ Write
