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.

What about a girl that falls in love with a guy and everything is perfect but it turns out that everything she thought was happening was all just hallucinations or daydreams because she had been kidnapped by this psycho guy and that was the only way her brain could deal with it idk

Or how about a a girl and her son moves in with her boyfriend and she thinks he's great but then her son goes missing and at night she thinks she hears him yelling but everywhere she looks, he's not there, so she thinks she losing her mind. But it turns out that the guy she loves has been drugging her and he killed her son and she has no idea until tries to open this shed that actually has her son's body in it to look for something, and then her "perfect" boyfriend shows his true colors and is all creepy and she finds out everything idk how it would end tho.

Or maybe you could write about a woman whose abusive husband dies and she is kind of relieved but sad in a way. And then she ends up moving on and falls in love with this guy but then the ghost of her husband comes back saying she replaced him and idk

These might actually be horrible or idk I hope they're not. I was just brainstorming. Maybe these at least help you come up with an idea. Good luck.
