#18 - Sanderson intentionally did not tell his cousin

[Morgan2cats]

Hi PowerScore,

Maybe I’m overthinking, but please correct me: I feel this argument is about whether Sanderson told his cousin, ‘I overheard someone talking about bad news,’ or whether he left out the fact that he overheard it. Therefore, I think whether Sanderson believes the bad news itself is not important. Even he doesn't believe that, he could still lie to his cousin by "No I didn't hear any thing".

And because of this, I don't know why C is correct.

Sorry maybe I didn't explain my thoughts clearly. In another word, I thought even with (C), Sanderson is still intentionally misleading his cousin, because what matters is his purpose in withholding the information, not whether he believes the information.
