Explanation:

To determine why Vera’s lie works well, we analyze each option. Option A: Age alone isn’t a strong reason for believability. Option B: Simple language doesn’t guarantee a lie is convincing. Option C: Including realistic, normal details makes a lie plausible as it mimics real - life scenarios, which is a common technique in storytelling to deceive. Option D: Speaking quickly to confuse is less likely to make a lie work well compared to realistic details. So the best explanation is Option C.

Answer:

C. She includes normal details that sound realistic.
