The correct answer is: D) It's a lot easier to remember what actually happened than to remeber how you twisted the truth to convince someone to vote your way.

If you tell the truth, the actual facts will back up your story, the only thing you must do to is go back to them and they will tell you what happened. That is the reason Mark Twain says you don't have to remeber anything. Even your senses will have memories of the experiences you lived.

If a politician lies or exaggerates he is inventing something that never happened, it will be difficult to support those lies because there is not empirical evidence of that. If someone investigates there won't be data to back up the politicians statements and he would be in trouble.

Option B says truth has a way of coming back to haunt you.  As I said, the truth is supported on the evidence. Lies fall because they don´t. Mark Twain doesn't make emphasis on this part of lying, on the consecuences of telling a lie.

Option C implies using lies to convince someone of something, Mark Twain is talking about telling the truth so it is incorrect.

The correct answer is D. It's a lot easier to remember what actually happened than to remember how you twisted the truth to convince someone to vote your way.

Explanation:

A quote refers to the repetition or use of the words said by someone which is usually related to some specific idea the author uses to support his own ideas or refer to a different idea. In the case of the quote presented by the American writer Mark Twain "If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything" the quote refers to the importance of avoiding to lie as lying implies remembering the false version which in some cases is difficult as this version can be forgotten. This means if this quote is linked to the idea of politic propaganda it suggests saying the truth for politicians is better as in this way it is easier for them to remember everything than to remember the false version of everything such as false promises or false statements politicians say to make people vote of them. Thus, Mark Twain's suggest regarding political propaganda that " It's a lot easier to remember what actually happened than to remember how you twisted the truth to convince someone to vote your way".
