Answer 1

Answer:

d. Tonya did not lie to her boss because she believed her statement was true

Explanation:

In this situation given, Tonya did not lied to her boss.

Tonya works for her boss as his personal assistant and she keeps a record of everything and schedules her boss's work.

Her boss has a meeting with the client which was scheduled at 3:00 at the afternoon.

But when her boss asked her about the timings of the meeting with the client, Tonya did not check her record diary and told that the meeting was fixed at 3:30 p. m. Tonya was confident about her word and she believed that her statement was correct. But to surprise her she was wrong and the client had been waiting for half an hour because the meeting was scheduled at 3:00 p. m.

Thus the answer is

d. Tonya did not lie to her boss because she believed her statement was true
