to be kind. Sometimes a 1)_________-saving lie prevents embarrassment for the recipient. The 
second most 2)_________ motivation for lying was to avoid tension or conflict... 3)________ it

cosmetics and candies were already in existence. The whale is not the only species fighting for 
survival. In the United States alone, conservationists have estimated that over a hundred kinds of 
animals, fish and birds will disappear before the end of the century unless action is taken to 
protect them. Although governments in many 5) _______ have done a great deal to control
