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).

Kid Stuff

Answer:

The answer is below brother or sista U_U

Explanation:

Right now, here in the present. All kids or teens ever do is play video games,  or take pictures of themselves. While... there is a trend of adults playing with kid stuff. The reason why Adults play with kid stuff is because it brings  back the memories from the time they used to play with toys. My dad's interest was playing marbles and was one of the best marble players in the whole school and most of the kids would bring their marbles and shoot it around the playground and it was a big trend at my dad's school. Last time I caught (an old realitive you know) playing with an old slinky and I asked (is it a she or he?) why is (she or he)  playing that old slinky instead of  being on (his or her) phone instead and quit playing with a kids toy. (Realitive u know) sat me down and told me that just because an adult plays with a kids toy doesn't mean its immature... Its because.. it brings back the old memories from the time period I was in and who knows it might be a hobby for us adults. On Ytube I saw these people bringing out the old toys from back then and they remember it and started to play it and told the viewers that it bring back memories from the time they were in. Its not Immature if an adult was playing with a kids toy its just to bring back memories or maybe their hobby like reading comic books or play tea party or play with dolls.
