The compulsive liars are_____

Respuesta :

The compulsive liars are Jane and Jack. From the statement above, lying to them is nothing. They don't feel any guilt or conscience in doing it. Compulsive liars are those people who lies all the time or making lies are their habit. They find comfort in doing it and does not care of the consequences.

Answer:

Julia and Jack

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement says Jack lies as an absolute and when jack speaks he says "if you round up Jane, Joey, and John one is a liar" which implies none of them are liars.

And that gives you the three people who tell the truth and leaves Jack and Julia as the liars.

You can reason it by taking a statement that certainly said one person is lying or telling the truth and you can check to see if it makes sense with the rest assuming they are telling the truth.

We can start with Joey (who said Jack was a liar). That means we know one liar and somebody is telling the truth. Lets look at Jack's statement and can conclude that Jane and John also weren't liars (since that would've made him truthful).

Now I know one liar and 3 that are speaking the truth. That leaves Julia as the second compulsive liar.

Therefore, Jack and Julia are the compulsive liars.
