Answer:

Hi, the answer is:

Explanation:

In his narrative Frank R. Stockton challenges his reader to guess the outcome, but he also challenges his reader through the use of irony. Indeed, the presentation of the king in the exposition alerts the reader to this irony.  This king is "semi-barbaric" and has an "exuberant fancy"; his authority is "so irresistible" that he turns his desires into facts. Often, he self-communes, and  

when he and himself agreed upon anything, the thing was done...and...nothing please him so much as to make the crooked straight, and crush down uneven places.

And, yet, the author writes that, paradoxically, the king's subjects possess minds that are "refined and cultured." So, it is doubtful that the author truly feels that the king acts fairly. Rather, it seems that the king designs things according to his desires, feeling that what he does is always proper.

In describing what is done to a subject who is accused of a crime, the author presents many details about the doors and the tiger behind the doors that are placed arbitrarily so that no one knows.  

The manner that the subjects must react is also described. Everything is arranged, no one can interfere with "his great scheme of punishment and reward."  

This was the king's semi-barbaric method of administering justice. Its perfect fairness is obvious. The criminal could not know out of which door would come the lady.

This remark about "fairness" is simply that the person charged with a crime could not know which door was the one to choose. No one has any advantage, but this does not mean that the person charged with a crime is treated fairly and justly. It does not mean that the king per se is fair. For, there is no trial; the accused merely is placed in an area where he may be lucky enough to live.

The correct answer is D. By describing an example of how money could be stolen and sent abroad

Explanation:

In the excerpt presented, the author explains a hypothetical situation in which a bank is asked through e.mail to transfer the funds of a client to a different bank account, about this, the author remarks as e-mails do not have a handwritten signature it would not be possible for the bank to know whether the e-mail is written by the owner of the account or a criminal and then ends the text with the main claim or idea that is "it is essential that there is some form of reliable digital signature", this means the information presented before the claim support this by providing a hypothetical situation or an example of the consequences of not having a reliable digital signature and the way money could be stolen as a consequence. Therefore, the author supports the claim by describing an example of how money could be stolen and sent abroad.
