What is a common feature of the truthful subject's answer to who might have had the best opportunity?

• A. They name no one
• B. They often include themselves
• C. They accuse others with no basis
• D. They refuse to answer

Answer: (B)

When someone answers who might have had the best opportunity, honesty tends to show through a direct, self-aware response. A truthful subject is usually willing to provide a candid assessment rather than deflect or stay silent. Including themselves fits that pattern because it shows they’re not trying to hide their own involvement or invent a story about others. They’re willing to acknowledge that they could have had the opportunity, or at least consider it as a real possibility, rather than offering vague or baseless accusations. That openness—acknowledging one’s own potential role when it’s true—helps distinguish truthful reporting from evasive or deceptive answers.
