Answer:
The young man, in The Lady, or the Tiger?, was thrown in prison because the King found out about the love affair he had been carrying on, for months, with his daughter. Also it was not allowed for a commoner to court Royalty, even though he was one of the King's Royal Attendants.
It is a metaphor representing not just the 'mask' of the plague, but also the 'masquerade' of the ball and the 'masquerade' of pretending to escape death.
Sustainable development of a society means that resources are used wisely enough and will still be present for the use of the future generation. If choice A is correct, people would have the power to exploit resources as long as they have money. If choice B is correct, a country would be able to sustain itself in the expense of another country, which is morally wrong. If choice D is correct, then people in the future would only have artificial resources in their hands which would create a lot of problems in regards health, economy, etc. Therefore, all these three choices are wrong.
A society is consired sustainable if it (c) recognizes the limits of the environment and looks for alternatives to using up natural resources.
