<span>C. Is the correct answer here - bought is based on the root verb 'buy or to buy' but its sense in the sentence is set against the framework of a time from the phrase with the word 'During' and so the word of choice must become 'bought'.</span>
Answer:
Love becomes the influencing factor for the princess and she did not want him to die but she also knows she can't have him get married to another woman. And debating between the two options, which either way will make sure she doesn't get him, she must decide on which door to choose from, with the man's full faith in her.
If I were in the princess's position, I would choose rather see him get married to the woman instead of leading him to his death. Even though there may be no future, the man still deserves to live and be alive and not be killed just because he fell in love with a princess.
Explanation:
In the short story "The Lady or The Tiger", the fate of the young man depends on the decision of the princess. And with his life on her hands, the author Frank R. Stockton leaves us with the big question of whether the princess led the young man to his death the tiger, or to the beautiful lady who will become his wife.
With the primary theme being love between the princess and the courtier who was from a lower social class, the notion of love becomes the most important aspect of the young man's life. And with his faith in her, the feeling of love supersedes the fear of choosing the wrong door. He has full faith in the princess's choice that is best for him. But the princess, on the other hand, has a lot to think about before deciding to lead her lover to the door he thinks is right for him. She has to choose to either see him get married to another woman or be killed by a tiger. And she even feels jealous to think of him getting married to another woman. This is what love does to a person, bringing in jealousy and hatred even to the point of killing the other person with the notion "if I can't have you, no one can". But at the same time, the author did not specify what door the princess leads the young man to, leaving us to conclude.
If the position to make the decision was on me, I think I will choose to keep him alive and rather see him married to another woman instead of killing him and taking his life. Taking the life of a person is not something that a person has the right to, and it is far better to see a person alive and secure instead of leading him to his death. Besides, living is our right and no one should be deprived of that unless they did a sinful deed worthy of death.
Answer:
b. objective
Explanation:
To say that someone is 'good' or 'strong' is not objective because it is based on your own values, perceptions and judgement. So, someone else might have a very different perception of those adjectives based on his own experience and values.
It's not objective, it's subjective, because it depends of the subject (individual) saying those words, on what they define is good, on what they believe is strong and so on.
Objective means it's something that everyone agrees on, that has a general consensus among the population. For example, saying someone is beautiful/handsome implies your own criteria of beauty, which may or may not be shared by others. But if you say someone is tall, then it can be measured and quantified to determine if it's really the case or not, it's not dependent on someone's opinion or feelings.
