Ah, I remember reading this and taking this test for homeschooling my Freshman year (:
In the story, "The Bet" by Anton P. Chekhov, the lawyer faces conflict in holding up his end of the bet.
Hope this helps! Let me know if it doesn't!
Answer and Explanation:
NOTE: since this is supposed to be a personal answer, feel free to edit and adapt the information to suit yourself.
Have you ever wanted to say something clever (to impress someone), and you couldn't think of anything to say? What kind of emotions did this bring up for you?
Yes, I have. It has happened several times. When I realized I would not be able to come up with anything clever to say, I ended up frustrated and annoyed at myself. However, those feelings did not tend to last long. After some time has passed, I usually realize that my motivation as well as the context would never allow me to say something impressive. Impressive statements normally come naturally, when we feel comfortable with the situation and the topic. If we feel the need to impress, that already makes the context more difficult and uncomfortable, reducing our chances to come up with something good.
if your asking us to write an essay for you then that's just sad
I believe the tone is somewhat dramatic based on the dialogue such as "shot his hand out in front of him", it makes the story seem a lot more interesting than what it really is; a normal encounter.
