The truthful subject, when expressing suspicion, will typically do what along with naming others?

• A. Name themselves only
• B. Offer a reasonable basis for their suspicion
• C. Deny any suspicion
• D. Refuse to answer

Answer: (B)

When someone who is truthful expresses suspicion, they typically pair that feeling with a reason or evidence. Grounding their suspicion in observable facts or patterns makes the claim credible and easier to evaluate. Simply stating suspicion without any basis, or denying or refusing to answer, undermines credibility. So the natural, honest approach is to offer a reasonable basis for the suspicion.
