The correct answer is A. Perhaps Anna could consider her decisions more carefully.
Explanation
The tone of a sentence is the name given to the intonation and how an idea is expressed. the speaker separates his thoughts using pauses or silences and by variations in the tone of voice; in written language, these pauses and variations in pitch are generally represented by the period (.) and, sometimes, by question marks (?), exclamation points (!) or by an ellipsis (...). Additionally, the tone can be modified with the words used towards another person, for example, the sentence "Perhaps Anna could consider her decisions more carefully" invites Anna to reflect on her decision and make her decisions more carefully, unlike the sentence "Anna-she's a girl who acts silly" because she has a more aggressive tone towards Anna and makes a value judgment on the situation by insulting the other person. Therefore, the sentence that shows the best tone of the writer is A. Perhaps Anna could consider her decisions more carefully.

Answer:
The banker despises himself for his greed and for his willingness to kill the lawyer.
Explanation:
In Anton Chekhov's "The Bet", a banker and a young lawyer, along with other clever men, are discussing the capital punishment. The banker defends the idea that the death penalty is more merciful than keeping someone imprisoned for life. The lawyer thinks both, the death penalty and life in prison, are equally terrible. Still, he would choose the second one since, according to him, it is better to live in horrible conditions than to not live at all. The banker then bets 2 million that the lawyer wouldn't be able to live 5 years confined in a solitary. The lawyer accepts the bet and chooses to spend 15 years in captivity instead of 5.
Over the course of those 15 years, a lot changes for both men. The banker is no longer as rich as he used to be, and he begins to fear the loss of the 2 million he promised. The lawyer, on the other hand, has spent those years studying all possible fields of knowledge, and has learned to despise money and the human nature. The banker, having decided to kill the lawyer, enters his room only to find a letter in which he explains that he won't take the 2 million. The lawyer writes about how he learned and lived everything through books, how he came to realize that men are despicable for choosing Earth over Heaven, for treasuring what should be of no value.
After reading the letter, the banker realizes he is one of those little men. He had been willing to commit a crime just so he wouldn't give his money away. He goes back to his house, thinking very lowly of himself and his pettiness.
