Alexandra: To begin using software you've bought, you're supposed to read and agree to the software's licensing agreement. But if, like many users, you haven't even read it, you shouldn't state that you have. In checking the checkbox that signals you've read the agreement, you're consenting to a statement you know is false, and lying is wrong.
Samuel: Checking the checkbox next to a statement isn't lying. You are lying when there are one or more people that you intend to deceive by making or consenting to a statement that you know is false. Checking the checkbox doesn't constitute consenting to the statement, and ___________.
Which of the following would, if correct, most logically complete Samuel's rebuttal of Alexandra's argument?
A. checking the checkbox does not involve making the statement to another person
B. often nobody verifies whether you have checked the checkbox
C. there are situations in which agreeing with a false statement in order to deceive someone is not wrong
D. if you have read the licensing agreement, then the statement is true, so agreeing with it is not lying
E. when written, the statement next to the licensing agreement was not intended to be false or to deceive anyone

A: Lying = claiming to read something you haven't
S: Lying = 3 characteristics
1 - involves 1+ people
2 - intention of deception
3 - consenting to a statement u know is false
To complete the statement, we have to find an answer that covers 1, 2 or both, since 3 is covered to continue S's argument on what is NOT lying
A. checking the checkbox does not involve making the statement to another person
Addresses characteristic 1. Keep.
B. often nobody verifies whether you have checked the checkbox
Not a characterisitc that S mentions
C. there are situations in which agreeing with a false statement in order to deceive someone is not wrong
S is only talking about what is lying, not mentioning if S thinks there are edge cases..
D. if you have read the licensing agreement, then the statement is true, so agreeing with it is not lying
Not relevant.
E. when written, the statement next to the licensing agreement was not intended to be false or to deceive anyone
S is talking about what is not lying, not characterizing the statement.
So A!

Hello! How according to S1 by Samuel lying involved 1+ people as in the question its written 'you are lying when there are one or more people' so even if 1 person is invloved, it can lead to lying. Please explain
