The correct answer is A. Boredom

Explanation

"The Bet" by the Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov is a short story published in 1889 in which a lawyer and a banker bet about what is better between the death penalty and the life in prison. The story begins as both the banker and the lawyer are in a party host by the banker and cheerfully talking and discussing, during this, the banker argues the death penalty is more humane than life in prison and the lawyer who does not agree with him, states life in prison is better than death penalty, after this, motivated by the discussion and the environment in the party they both bet two million rubles that the lawyer would be unable to be in isolation during fifty years despite he defends life in prison. Thus, considering the bet is created in the context of a party and there is no conflict between the lawyer and the banker it can be concluded the discussion and the bet take place motivated by boredom, as all began as a game and none of the characters have any strong reason to bet against the other, but they are just interested in the discussion that emerges as a result of boredom during the party.

As a child or grandchild, how can you show love to your parents, grandparents while they are still alive?​
k0ka [10]
Establishing a bond with grandparents is great for kids in many ways. Grandparents can be positive role models and influences, and they can provide a sense of cultural heritage and family history. Grandparents provide their grandkids with love, have their best interests at heart, and can make them feel safe.

Grandparents also encourage a child's healthy development. Overnight trips to Grandma's house, for example, may be less traumatic than sleepovers with peers and can help kids develop independence. Another benefit — grandparents may have lots of time to spend playing with and reading to kids. Such dedicated attention only improves a child's developmental and learning skills.

Tips for Staying in Touch
In today's world, though, families may be scattered across the country, and jam-packed school and work schedules may interfere with regular time with grandparents. Despite physical distance or busy schedules, you can encourage your kids to develop a closer bond with their grandparents.

Try these tips:

Visit often.
Pass it on.
Chart a family tree.
Call Often.
