Josh and his friends were watching a televised debate between two political candidates. When the candidates were asked by the moderator if they had accepted donations from any questionable sources, one of the candidates began to laugh nervously and speak less fluently than before. Josh and his friends should conclude that
 
  a. the candidate is obviously lying, and they should vote for the other one.
 b. the candidate is obviously telling the truth, but he is nervous.
 c. no conclusions can be drawn, because a question like that would make everybody act guilty.
 d. the candidate may simply be nervous about the question, but he is acting like he is being dishonest.

Question 2

Jennifer confronted her boyfriend about rumors that he was cheating on her with one of her friends. Because he maintained eye contact with her throughout their conversation and seemed sincere in his denial, Jennifer should conclude that
 
  a. her boyfriend must be telling the truth, because maintaining eye contact is a good sign of honesty.
 b. her boyfriend is obviously lying, as maintaining eye contact is a reliable sign of dishonesty.
 c. her boyfriend may or may not be telling the truth, because eye contact might signify either honesty or dominance.
  d. she should have paid more attention to his words than to his body language, as body language is easier to fake than verbal behavior.
