The model millionaire – Oscar Wilde
The model millionaire is a short story written by Oscar Wilde in 1871. The theme of the short story deals with a very materialistic aspect of life in a mercantile world in which the protagonist Hughie Erskine is a complete misfit. Despite of the attractive appearance and charming personality, his lack of money prohibits him from marrying the girl he loves – Laura. Her father demands a total of £10.000 to prove his worth to him and accept him as a son in law. The demand is only of economical character, because of the fact that Hughie quick and easily achieved the acceptance of the father as a person. This issue defines the very essence of the short story, of which it becomes clear that "romance is the privilege of the rich, not the profession of the unemployed." But is that so in the real, contemporary world? Is love only appropriate in the world of the privileged or is it achievable for anyone? This attitude is quite an old fashion way of thinking which is very appropriate of the time period in which the text is written and so the modern man would probably controvert the statement. A controversy claiming that love is a spirit with ability to posses anyone and so the modern expression “Love is for everyone” manifests itself.
A second theme in the short story is represented in terms of kindness. It is expressed to its fullest that being kind pays out in the end.

Answer:
The solution, I think, is to try our best and see what happens.
Explanation:
A comma is a slight pause in any given sentence that allows a reader to take a break though for only a short time. It is also used in many ways, including the separation of two or more independent clauses in a sentence.
The five rules of using a comma are that it must be used after an introductory phrase/ clause, after a parenthetical phrase or clause, to separate two independent clauses that are joined by a coordinating conjunction, to separate items in a list, and before any quotations.
Therefore, the clause "I think" in the given sentence will be put in between commas. Thus, the correct sentence will be <u>"The solution, I think, is to try our best and see what happens."</u><u>
</u>
