Step-by-step explanation:

From the information you provided, here's the breakdown of which statements are likely lies told by recruiters to persuade workers to come to Panama and which are not:

Lies:

- They will only work four days per week

- They will be given a car for transportation

Truths (not lies):

- They will have good food to eat

- They will have comfortable houses to live in

- They will earn lots of money

Recruiters often use enticing promises to attract workers, but not all of these promises turn out to be true. In reality, working conditions and the actual benefits may differ from what was initially told to the workers.
