<em>The Bet </em>is Anton Chekhov's short story which describes a bet between a lawyer and a banker. They argue about a capital punishment and the former claims that life imprisonment is better than that because at least you know that you are living. At this point, the banker makes a bet with him in which he will give a lawyer 2 million if he is imprisoned for 15 years. The lawyer agrees and the story then shows how his thoughts change over the years because of the books he reads, because of the wine he tastes and most importantly because of the life he lives awaiting his freedom. In the end of the story, the lawyer succeeds changing the banker into someone different which he claims that 2 million is meaningless for him now. The correct answer for the development of the banker is thus the first option. <em>To avoid arousing unnecessary talk, he took from the table the writing in which the millions were renounced, and when he got home locked it up in the fireproof safe </em>is the last sentence of the story in which the banker tries to save the identity of the lawyer by this way.

Answer:

One theme in Flannery O'Connor's "Everything that Rises Must Converge" is:

A. looks can be deceiving.

Explanation:

In the short story "Everything that Rises Must Converge," several themes can be found. <u>Among them, one of the main themes is that looks can be deceiving. The following passage from the story is evidence of that:</u>

<u>"She was one of the few members of the Y reducing class who arrived in hat and gloves and who had a son who had been to college."</u>

The main characters are J.ulian and his mother, and none of them is what they seem to be. <u>J.ulian, for instance, has convinced himself that he is modern, open-minded, and thoughtful; he has also told himself that his mother is his complete opposite - a narrow-minded, prejudiced person. He is angry at her for the importance she places on appearances.</u>

<u>However, as the story unfolds, we realize J.ulian is also prejudiced and narrow-minded when it comes to his mother. And he too cares about what others think of him</u>. His mother, on the other hand, has her flaws and limitations, but is revealed to have a good heart. <u>Their looks and their behaviors are deceiving, not showing their true selves. </u>

<u />

Note: Some words starting with j and u are forbidden by Brainly. That is why I had to type J.ulian like this.
