She is telling the partial truth
It would break an unspoken code

Answer 1

It would break an unspoken code

Step-by-step explanation:

The question above is related to the story entitled "To Kill a Mockingbird." The situation was in the trial room where Tom Robinson (a black man) was careful of not accusing Mayella Ewell (who was white). This is because there were laws that made the white people more powerful than the black, even when it comes to the courtroom. This was considered an "unspoken code." Thus, he was very careful not to go against it or he might face harsh consequences.
