What is most closely the main idea of the paragraph below and what sentence most strongly supports the correct answer?

"Those who answer these three questions in known-untrue fashion may intend their answers to communicate a truth deeper than the actual facts would indicate, as in: I am the type of person who votes regularly (even though I was too busy to vote last Tuesday); who always does the assigned work (but didn’t last week because I had too many assignments from other courses); who shares the cultural and political values associated with public radio (but listens to it only when what’s on the other stations is boring)."

Answer Choices:

A. It’s easy to spot blue lies, such as lying about what radio station one listens to every day.

B. Lying about oneself, such as one’s cultural and political values, is the worst type of lie.

C. The truth is overrated, and people should be able to showcase themselves in the best light.

D. People tell blue lies because they believe these lies better reflect who they really are.
