Question

I need help asap please? and this is for the sat question? why do people lie to others

Answer 1

It is usually to cover up some mistake or area of weakness. Sometimes it is to brag about something and make themselves look better.

Answer 2

For many lies, the reasons are complicated. Sometimes it's to protect the liar from being punished, or to protect someone else from punishment. The lie might be to avoid being embarrassed, to hide an awkward situation, or to simply have others think better of the person telling the fib.
