Answer 2

Answer:

My son says that he will give up telling lies.

Explanation:

Here we have to use a verb form that suits the most in this case.

Let us understand the meaning of the phrases/word forms given in the question:

1. Give over: This phrase is used in a scenario where one is allowing himself/herself to be taken over by something like an emotion, addiction, or something like that.
2. Give in: This phrase is used in a scenario where one accepts their defeat over something.
3. Give up: This phrase is also used in a scenario where one accepts defeat or reluctantly wants to end something.

All three phrases more or less mean the same, but their usage depends on the type of sentence used and its narration.

In the above sentence, the exact meaning is that the action of telling lies must be stopped, and the phrase 'give up' suits best in this case.
