a. He did not watch the festivities.

b. He made his daughter in charge of signaling judgement

c. He said the criminals made their own choices, not him.

d. He was barbaric and just did not feel guilty.

Answer: c. He said the criminals made their own choices, not him.

Explanation:

The arena of the king was meant as a device of poetic justice, where a crime was punished, or virtue rewarded, depending on what was thought to be an impartial test. Given the chance to choose one out of two doors, the criminal would face either the punishment of a tiger´s attack or the reward of a woman to get married to. Whether they would be punished or rewarded was established based on their own choice, making the King feel like has no responsibility for the result.

Do minors usually marry when they have an "accident" with their boyfriend or girlfriend in bed?
kramer
If you are referring to a girl getting pregnant or a couple having sex than in some cases a unexpected pregnacy can thrust the pressure of marriage upon minors. But way less today than in the past.

That woman's days were spent
In ignorant good-will,
Her nights in argument
Until her voice grew shrill.
What voice more sweet than hers
When, young and beautiful,
She rode to harriers?
This man had kept a school
And rode our wingèd horse;
This other his helper and friend
Was coming into his force;
He might have won fame in the end,
So sensitive his nature seemed,
So daring and sweet his thought.
This other man I had dreamed
A drunken, vainglorious lout.
He had done most bitter wrong
To some who are near my heart,
Yet I number him in the song;
He, too, has resigned his part
In the casual comedy;
He, too, has been changed in his turn,
Transformed utterly:
A terrible beauty is born.


The answer would be That woman's days were spent
In ignorant good-will,
