- The answer is he is a visitor i.e. he is telling the truth
Reason:
If he was a native i.e. a liar then his answer would would have been "she says she is a native" for both cases because
If she was visitor: she would have said she is a visitor and he would have lied that she is a native
If she was native: she would have lied and again say that she is a visitor and he would have lied that she is a native. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(0)
