They are monologuea. Can both (a) and (b) follow the sentences (1) to (3)?
1) He says he has the team shirt, although I've never seen him wear it.
(a) He must be telling a lie!
(b) He must have it in his closet!
(2) Although he says he has the team shirt, I've never seen him wear it.
(a) He must be telling a lie!
(b) He must have it in his closet!
(3) Although I've never seen him wear the team shirt, he says he has it.
(a) He must be telling a lie!
(b) He must have it in his closetI asked the same question before. However, I found (a) and (b) were mistaken as responses to the sentences (1) to (3). That means the answers are useless.

Yeah, A and B work fine.
I would change A to "He must be lying!" though. "He must be telling a lie!" isn't as natural, in my opinion.
Also, B might sound better as "It must be in his closet!".
"He must be telling a lie!" and "He must have it in his closet!" are fine, though, if that's how you want it to sound.

Well, by comparing with your previously posed question as given in,
http://www.italki.com/answers/question/79197.htm
I found that the contents are basically exactly the same, and the respondents there have already provided you the answers and suggestions. So, what is the problem, honestly?
In my personal point of view, suggestions (a) and (b) fit well into all original sentences, at least in terms of daily conversations. So, there should be no worries.
