A person's body is less likely to lie than his/her words.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation

While words can be manipulated or distorted, the body's reactions are often involuntary and difficult to control, making them a more accurate reflection of a person's true thoughts and emotions. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that a person's body is less likely to lie than their words.Rate this question:
