B: the desire to prove to others that you’re right can lead to extreme actions.

In the story, the lawyer and the banker get into an argument about whether or not life imprisonment would be more humane than capital punishment. The banker challenges the lawyer to a bet stating that the lawyer must remain in isolation for 15 years. To prove that he is right, the lawyer takes the bet. The desire to prove himself correct leads the lawyer to take the extreme action of giving up everything and living a life locked up in solitude.

<span>#1) How are love and affection portrayed in In Memoriam, A. H. H. by Alfred, Lord Tennyson?

Answer: In “Memoriam, A. H. H.” Love and Affections are portrayed as Everlasting. This is explicitly depicted when Tennyson explains his idea of how his good friend Arthur’s death does not mean he will cease to exist inside of him and is now in a better place. He apparently reached a level of immortality in a christian sense.

Answer:

The best answer would be C.

Explanation:

This helps add to the rudeness. When someone makes a rude face and uses a rude voice, that is ruder than simply saying something rude with no emotion at all.
