B - will tell the "truth" in a way that his audience can accept

Explanation:

The text found above is from a play written by Tennessee William titled "The Glass Menangerie". Above we see how Tom a character in the play says about stage magicians, "they gives you illusion that has the appearance of truth, I give you truth in the pleasant disguise of illusion".

In other words will tell the "truth" in a way that his audience can accept.
