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.

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

A set point in the historical time line stands as the medieval period. The medieval period in history was the era in European history – from around the 5th to the 15th century, coming after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, and preceding the start of the early modern era. This historical time period has been long since been the victim of film directors and romantic novelists, which has lead to the common, but false, idea of the medieval period consisting of knights and damsels in distress, wizards and dragons, and castles and battles. Although mainly wrong in most parts and being highly historically inaccurate – some aspects of the dramatic works do play true to the original time period.  

Certainly within British/English history we…show more content…

Another relevant role of the medieval period was the development of parliament later in the period. It is of high relevance to society today – as the controlling force of the country arose from the proposed council of 25 (Magna Carta) and developed into the fully fledged House of Commons and Lords that we know today. Magna Carta also played other, hugely influential roles in the world as we know. The first written constitution is very important in America – with the declaration of independence, signed in ... - being based on this very document. However, the Magna Carta was not always this important, as it was annulled by Pope Urban shortly after King John signed it.
