Answer/Explanation:
Honestly for me I would tell the truth. Some people might think it's a little strange for me to say this so I'll explain.
While telling the lie will save your life, do you really want to carry that burden around with you? I mean, depeing on the lie, it can give an uneasy mind. I would rather tell the truth and d!e than hvaing all that stress.
Hope this helps :)
