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.

In about 120 words comment ot the statement:
stiks02 [169]
The statement is partially correct, the laws would be extreme in numbers and there would be far more punishments than a state with a moderate amount of laws. There would be more laws or regulations broken or violated when it would regard certain things. But the number of laws however does not exactly show how corrupt the state may be, but how extensive or extreme the punishments for the crime would be.
