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.

Elis [28]
ADVISE : First off, never start your thesis statement off like " i'm going to tell you" or " In this." you want to grab the reader, and make the reader want to read more. You could start your thesis with a quote from O'Conner or a random quote about your subject. This tends to grab the reader, if they like the quote. You may also start your your thesis with a question that you may think people will have about the short story, or you had  while reading the short story, you MUST answer this question in your writing though. Secondly, try not to make your thesis so long, this may lead the reader to bordome, but also dot make your thesis to short

Which sentence uses negatives correctly?
Lorico [155]
The sentence which uses negatives correctly is:

<span>B. There's nothing wrong with this computer, Dad.
</span>
There are two negative words used in the sentence: nothing and wrong. But o examine closely, the double negatives turn the sentence into a positive one, therefore creating balance and avoiding redundancy.
