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.

Which one of the following senteces is passive​
vichka [17]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Option B is the correct answer.

Though the handwriting isn't properly understood, yet I was able to see some of the writings.

Passive voice refers to the statement or sentence which consists of a subject that is acted upon by other performer of the verb. In other words, the subject of the clause actually receives the action of the verb.

So, from this excerpt, "Trees" (what I am seeing written there) is the subject that is receiving the action.

In active voice, the subject actually performs the action while in passive voice, the subject receives the action.

What is one example of citizen participation that has aimed to change the role and/or treatment of women? Describe this example.
ratelena [41]

<h3>Women have the right to participate in political processes that affect them, their families, and their societies. Countries with increased women’s participation and leadership in civil society and political parties tend to be more inclusive, responsive, egalitarian, and democratic. When women meaningfully participate in peace processes, they can help to expand the scope of agreements and improve the prospects for durable peace.</h3>
