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.

Why do you think Annie Dillard read The Field Book of Ponds and Streams so many times
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Annie Dillard read the book 'The Field Book of Ponds and Streams' so  many times as she found what she herself did not know she was looking for, the essential tools for naturalist trade.

Explanation:

"An American Childhood" is a memoir of Annie Billard. She wrote about her childhood and her high school days in the book.

In her book, she conveyed the message that how books help people to connect with each other emotionally as well as mentally. As Annie was an earnest reader, so when she was twelve years old, she enrolled herself in the nearest library, in Homewood. In that library, she found the book titled "The Field Book of Ponds and Streams."

<u>She states that she read it several times especially chapter 3 of the book, which explains the essential tools for naturalist trade. Till she read that chapter, she herself was unaware of what she was looking for. The book unveiled to her many words of water and the life of insects. </u>

<u>She used to read the book every year and used to go through the list of names of people who borrowed that book to know that there are other people like her who are eager to find out about the 'ponds' and 'streams.'</u>
