Given below are two statements. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Both statements are correct, since words need not track the truth and people often bend communication to hide it.

Statement 1 is sound because the capacity of words has no necessary link to truth, the same words can carry a fact or a falsehood with equal ease.

Statement 2 is sound because there is a real human tendency to conceal facts and suppress the truth while communicating, whether to protect interest or avoid harm.

The two fit together, one naming the neutrality of language toward truth and the other the motive that exploits it.

Neither claim overreaches, so reading either as false would understate how easily communication can mislead.

This gap between words and truth is why credibility and verification matter so much in judging any message.
