Sorry I could not attach the story myself but here this the name of it
Secret in Slovakia
The correct answer is a night on the town.
When Doolittle meets Higgins and Pickering, he actually wants to sell his daughter to him for five pounds. He thinks she will have a better life there and he will spend that money "wisely." This are his actual words:
<span><em>"Just one good spree for myself and the missus, giving pleasure to ourselves and employment to others, and satisfaction to you to think it's not been throwed away. You couldn't spend it better."</em></span>
When reading this excerpt I understood authors intentions, I bet, in full measure. As he mentioned - the war is murder, thousands of people fighting for particular idea and nothing can't stop them, neither moral issues nor ethical rules. All these people are guilties of a global crime and author at any price will not support such events. Unlikely that all of these people will be punished for their mistakes or sins they have made, but if we will talk about regular crime, such as author described in the text - this actions must be sentenced to justice.
So I choose this option :
<span>B.Paine says that war is terrible, and ordinarily nothing could have convinced him to support it. However, he also believes that if a person or group commits severe crimes against him, that party should be punished, no matter who they are.</span>
