Question

Steven is selling a used car that is 10 years old. He found a way to set the odometer back 50,000 miles, making his car appear more valuable than it actually is. A potential buyer looks at the car and is amazed at the low mileage. He asks Steven if anyone has tampered with the odometer. Steven replies, “Hey, that would be illegal. No one wants to get caught doing something illegal.” What type of misleading statement did Steven make in his reply?

Answer 1

No one wants to be caught doing something illegal.

Step-by-step explanation

since he wanted to sell his ten year old car and you can imagine how old it is so he had to tamper with the odometer just so he could sell it and obviously if someone does something illegal they will not want to get caught so he used that to defend himself.
