It builds ethos with the audience
Answer:
Whether or not the experiment of the lawyer and the banker has proven that capital punishment is less cruel than life imprisonment is debatable even at the end of the narrative of "The Bet." It has, however, demonstrated that forced isolation is a terrible thing.
According to Chekhov in The Bet, he states,“Capital punishment kills a man at once, but lifelong imprisonment kills him slowly” (Chekhov,1). This quote proves that even though the banker thinks killing themselves are bad, but dying slowly is better than dying at once.

Answer:
B) The definition of crime is subjective and depends on who commits the crime and what type is committed.
Explanation:
The main point of the passage is to prove that a person who commits crime, does not think so about his/her action.
In the first part (open basket, coffee can and wooden money boxes), he proves that when situation is tempting or easy for stealing people may commit this crime, but when it is difficult to steal, people don't commit this crime.
In next part he makes a comparison of above situation with an office worker who does not pay for a bagel. He knows that there is some difference in stealing intentionally and not paying for bagel, but still he concludes that, an office worker who does not pay one dollar, is very unlikely to leave the office without paying if his bill is more than one dollar.
From both these situations, he concludes that crime is subjective and depends on situation i.e. who committed and what type of crime it is.
Option A (first) is incorrect as all the emphasis on the paragraph lies on proving subjectivity of crime.
Option C (third) is not a definition at all.
