Option D seems weak. You can't just let him deny everything!

Allowing him to keep denying might give me more insight into his reactions, but I wonder if that's really the right strategy.

I think reminding George about perjury could be a strong move, but it might also make him more defensive.

I feel like using a delaying tactic could be useful, but I'm not sure how effective it would be in this scenario.

I remember we discussed how it's important not to escalate the situation, so I think arguing with George might not be the best approach.

I'm not sure about this one. Arguing with George seems like a bad idea, but I'm not sure a delaying tactic is the right move either. Maybe I'll just let him keep denying and see where that goes.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. I'd go with the perjury reminder. That should shut down the denial and get George to start cooperating.

Okay, I think I've got this. The best approach is to remind George that he has to tell the truth or face perjury. That should get him to reconsider his denial.

This is a tricky one. I'm not sure if I should counter the denial or try to interrupt it. Might be best to remind George about perjury, but that could also backfire.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused here. I'm not sure if I should argue with George or just let him keep denying. Maybe a delaying tactic could work, but that seems risky.

I'd go with C. Perjury is a serious charge, and it might just be the wake-up call George needs to start telling the truth.

A? Really? Arguing with the suspect until they give up? That's like trying to fight fire with fire - it's just going to make things worse.
