Carefully devised code of law, along with a policing force that would stringently and impartially enforce these rules and punish harshly even the most minor infractions.
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 3, as one result of Western imperial interest in East Asia during the 1800s was that Japan rose from an isolated society to a major industrial and imperial power.
Japan remained isolated from Western influences until 1853, when Matthew Perry signed on behalf of the United States the Kanagawa Treaty, in order to open Japanese ports to trade with America.
For a long period, the restored contact with the West caused changes in Japanese society. After a strong civil conflict called Boshin war, the shogunate was forced to resign and the power was returned to the emperor. The Meiji Restoration of 1868 initiated several reforms. The feudal system was abolished and numerous Western institutions were adopted, including a Western legal and governmental system, along with other economic, social and military reforms that transformed Japan into a medium-high world power. As a result of the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, Japan annexed Taiwan, Korea and other territories to its expanding empire.
Thus it definitively established itself as a world power and the only one in Asia. After the First World War, 1918, Japan occupied a solid position in the Far East; It had the most powerful armed forces in the area, had great influence over China and had benefited economically from the war (it took care of the orders of the Asian countries, which the rest of the powers did not manage to attend).
