Explanation:

Option (1) is correct - The question is asking for ideas from the first part of the passage. But the first part is missing, and the given passage is a continuation of the first part. Hence, we need to imply the idea. From the passage, we can imply that the first part is discussing the idea of agreement in telling lies while in the second part they disagree in truth in every situation. Hence this option is correct.

Option (2) is incorrect - The first part agrees on telling lies as telling the truth is not possible in every situation.
Option (3) is incorrect - Like option (b) the first option is more focused on the agreement.
Option (4) is incorrect - The passage talks about harm in telling the truth in the second part and it agrees that in certain cases telling the truth can harm people which is opposite to the given option.
