Have you ever wanted to say something clever (to impress someone), and you couldn't think of anything to say? What kind of emotions did this bring up for you?
Yes, I have. It has happened several times. When I realized I would not be able to come up with anything clever to say, I ended up frustrated and annoyed at myself. However, those feelings did not tend to last long. After some time has passed, I usually realize that my motivation as well as the context would never allow me to say something impressive. Impressive statements normally come naturally, when we feel comfortable with the situation and the topic. If we feel the need to impress, that already makes the context more difficult and uncomfortable, reducing our chances to come up with something good.

Answer: A. Different emotional states affect people’s honesty.
This excerpt states that when people experience different emotional states, their levels of honesty fluctuate too. When people are anxious, stressed out due to the expectations of others, or angry, they are more likely to be dishonest. Therefore, theft and other similar behaviours increase around holidays that rely on these feelings, such as Christmas and Valentine's Day. However, when people are more cheerful and relaxed, dishonest behaviour becomes less common.
