Answer 5

false means it's not genuine; it's artifical, fake. You can say something that you THINK is true because that is what you were taught but it is really false. Your answer was basen on mistaken ideas, on errors that others told you.

I tend not to give an answer unless I know for sure it's true, real. If I don't know, I say "I don't know for sure but I think this....". Or I'll say "I just don't know but I'll find out for you."
