Answer: The investigator can conclude that the suspect may just be lying

Explanation:

There are quite a few signs or gestures that can help to reveal someone's intent or actions. It is these signs or gestures that investigators find very useful in finding out if the suspect is actually being truthful or being economical with the truth.

One of such signs that tells the investigator that the accused is not being truthful is:

***when he or she (the accused) starts wiping his or her lips with fingers.

*** When the suspect repeatedly strikes his or her chin.

*** When the suspect during the interrogation often used an object to cover his or her mouth or uses his or her hand to cover the mouth.

All these are signs that could mean that the suspect is probably lying to the investigators. Experts and psychologists believe that the covering of the mouth is an unconscious effort to stop other people from listening to the falsehood or lie that is about to be uttered.

They do this in an attempt to hold back their words because they know they are untrue.

Answer:

The conclusion that can be drawn is that the suspect is probably lying.

Explanation:

There are several signs that a person may be lying, many of them conveyed through body language. Among the most "famous" ones are covering one's mouth, touching one's nose, scratching one's neck, avoiding eye contact - or the opposite, maintaining prolonged eye contact without much blinking. The habit of covering one's mouth when lying usually appears during childhood. It's as if the person's trying to hold the words back. While doing so, they can use just a few fingers, or even the whole hand.

Wordly wise question why would many in thailand be unaccustomed to city life
iren [92.7K]

I believe the answer is: Because Thailand is mostly made up of mountainous terrain and many forests

Because of this, the majority of citizens' activity is designed to fully take advantage of these geological terrains. Rather than city-life, it is much more common to seek things such as agricultural farmings, mountain sports, and animal attraction in thailand.

explain why some african amerian were loyalists while others were patriots during the american revolution
krek1111 [17]
One reason that some african americans were patriots was because a few of the high people during that time were racist. (This does not just go to african americans. White people were also patriots) 
One reason that some african americans were loyalists was because some of the people that were in high power were actually african americans. These high powered african americans were not interfered with, due to there were many other people that bad guys wanted to turn into patriots. (DURING THIS TIME, very few african americans were in high power)

I hope that this helped! Please! Please! Please do not feel offended! I was only answering your question! And I caps locked "during this time" because this racist situation was only a big problem during the american revolution.
