Read the passage. I had only been a detective for a few months when I was hired to investigate a very odd case. Traveling across

town, I soon found myself walking down a dim, dingy street, looking for the law offices of one “L. Creighton, Esq.” Entering the office, a very calm, well-dressed gentleman warmly greeted us. I was surprised to find the office spacious, neat, and clean. Somehow, I had expected to see a cramped, untidy, and dismal space. What did the detective expect to see in the offices of the accountant? a mysterious doctor a large and prosperous office a dangerous warehouse a small, unclean office

The right answer is "a small and unclean office ".

The answer to this question expounds, literally in the text. The excerpt that shows this is:  <em>" I was surprised to find the office spacious, neat, and clean. Somehow, I had expected to see a cramped, untidy, and dismal space."</em>

Basically, the character is surprised to find a clean, spacious and tidy place, because he expected exactly the opposite, that is, a small, dirty and untidy desk.

Why is the ending of "The lady, or the Tiger?" So effective? How does this ambiguity affect the reader?
Umnica [9.8K]
The princess knows the answer and through the reading of this novel and by understanding the character development of the princess the reader is pushed to make his or her own assumptions and conclusions about what she would have chosen for the young man. As well, the author attempts to impose self-reflection and perspective. For example, a man who comes from drought and finds it raining would be happy, a man who comes from a rainy place, might find the rain miserable. Was the princess an outright sociopath or killer? Or through her interest in the young man, was she self-sacrificing for the benefit of others? That is the conclusion the reader must draw on based on his or her own experience with the story and perspective.
