Which statement agrees with Daniel Webster's line about falsehoods?

• A. Truths are always consistent
• B. Falsehoods do not interact with each other
• C. Liars often quarrels with each other
• D. Truths never conflict

Answer: (C)

Lies rely on the people who tell them staying in sync, but that harmony is fragile. When false stories are exposed to evidence or when different liars try to defend their part of the lie, tensions arise. That friction—people clashing over details, memories, or interpretations—fits the idea that liars often quarrel with each other. This choice best captures how falsehoods, though they may start with a shared deceit, tend to create conflict among those who try to keep the deception going. The other statements imagine truth and falsehood in absolute terms that don’t hold up in practice. Truths aren’t always perfectly consistent or conflict-free, and falsehoods do interact as they spread and rely on others to keep them alive.
