The correct answer is D. Desire for money

Explanation:

The excerpt presented belongs to the short-story "The Bet" by Anton Chekhov in which a banker an a lawyer make a bet in which the lawyer has to spend 15 years in confinement and if he does this he will prove to the banker life imprisonment is better than death penalty and receive money for it. In the excerpt presented the banker and narrator begins reflecting the reasons why he accepted the bet and he states as a result of it the lawyer lost time and he lost money, also he wonders if that will prove people anything about capital punishment and life imprisonment and he finally admits he accepted the bet because of "the caprice of a well-fed man; on the lawyer’s pure greed of gold", this shows the banker accepted the bet for a simple or caprice and he believes the lawyer wager the bet because of his greed of gold or due to desire for money (Option D).

Discuss two types of stressors that learners are likely to experience in a post school destination such as colleges or Universit
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Types of Stressors in Student Life During Post school destination or in University

Students can be considered as children or adults who are used to face or experience stress in their life of education.

When they complete their class 11-12 or class 10, they started being more stressed due to the pressure of their family members.

Once they get admission in any university or educational institution for becoming a graduate, they may experience academic stress, family stress, personal stress, financial stress, future stress, etc.

Academic stress is stress in which a student may feel difficulties in attending classes, or submitting assignments or work asked by professors. They may also feel the problem of being the indifferent medium of communication. For example, a student from a non-English medium may have these problems.

Financial Stress is another stress present in students' life after schooling as school fees, books and other expenses are higher as compared to school expenses. So they may feel worried about their family's financial condition.
