The answer is: Sentence (2) contradicts (1) and (2) gives a solution on the subject of lying.

Explanation:

  • Sentence (1) gives a problem: This indicates that the first sentence presents an issue or challenge related to the subject of lying.

  • Sentence (2) contradicts (1) and (2) gives a solution: This suggests that the second sentence opposes or challenges the problem stated in the first sentence and offers a resolution or answer to the issue.

  • Sentence (2) restates (1) for emphasis: This would mean that the second sentence repeats the first sentence to highlight or stress the problem, which is not the case here.

  • Sentence (2) gives a reason why (1) says lying is okay: This implies that the second sentence provides justification for the problem stated in the first sentence, which does not align with the description of contradiction and solution.

Therefore, the correct relationship is that Sentence (2) contradicts Sentence (1) and provides a solution to the problem presented.
