What is an "untried man? "
a)
someone who has not been a slave very long.
b)
someone who is unknown and not yet trusted.
c)
someone who has spoken out against a slaveholder.
someone who makes no effort to get along with
others.

B

Explanation:

”untried” means not yet tried, or trusted, or unknown. So it is reasonable for B to be the answer, unlike the others.

I agree with the statement above. Personally, with my experience, when lies are told, the person who is telling lies, thinks it's okay and they can get away with it. Eventually, they tell 1 or 2 more lies and then get into the worst habit of spreading rumors, gossiping, and telling even BIGGER lies. Therefore, I think that yes, telling lies leads to telling more and/or bigger lies.

(Once again, this is only an opinion. This is not a fact. This is what I personally think.)
