Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Claim 1 is a counsel of prudence because it advises against lying based on the potential negative consequences to the individual (it will "come back to haunt you"). Claim 2 is a moral claim because it focuses on the harm lying causes to others, thus appealing to a principle of not causing suffering.
