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.

Talk about starvation no plagiarise and write a lot please
scoundrel [369]
Starvation is everywhere in the world. In the Untied States of America, in Africa, in China... It's everywhere! Starvation is a big, big problem!

If just one person laid a helping hand in a soup kitchen or even donated food to a canned food drive, less and less people would be starving. It's a matter of how many people out there know about this horrible and growing problem.

Starvation has been around since the beginning of time. Even though it's the better time in America, there is still a lot of starving children, adults, and animals. Especially animals! People find strays all the time.
