This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

How would “The Lady, or the Tiger?” be different if it were told from the first-person point of view of one of the accused criminals who has to choose between doors? Check all that apply.

A) The reader would know what the character is thinking before opening the door.

B) The reader would know if the character based the choice on anything or just chose randomly.

C) The reader would know more about the king’s ideas of justice.

D) The reader would know less about how the arena looked.

E) The reader would know less about the king or the spectators’ opinion of what is happening.

There are three correct options to this question:

A) The reader would know what the character is thinking before opening the door.

B) The reader would know if the character based the choice on anything or just chose randomly.

E) The reader would know less about the king or the spectators’ opinion of what is happening.

Explanation:

"The Lady, or the Tiger?" is a short story by American author and humorist Frank Richard Stockton. He tells readers of a semi-barbaric king who came up with what he considered to be the fairest of trials. The criminal had to choose one of two doors to open. If he opened the door behind which a tiger was hiding, he would immediately be judged guilty, and he'd be punished by the tiger. If he opened the door behind which a damsel was waiting, he would have to marry her on the spot, not matter if he was already married or loved someone else.

If the story were told from the first-person point of view of one of the accused criminals, different types of information would be provided. We would have an insight concerning that person's thoughts and feelings. We would know what he is thinking right before opening the door, how he made his decision, what he based it on, if he truly wishes to open the door to the damsel, etc. We would have more information concerning the person whose point of view is the key to the story. However, that would give us less information concerning other characters. When a story is narrated from a first-person perspective, we only get to know what that narrator knows. He most likely wouldn't know the king and the spectators' opinions, so we would end up not knowing about them as well.

Plz me asap select the correct text in the passage. which two sentences in the passage introduce counterarguments to the speaker’s position in favor of recycling? we only have a limited number of resources to serve humans around the globe. by recycling and reusing the resources we have, we can preserve what untouched natural resources we have while extending the life of the resources we’re currently using. admittedly, we cannot reuse or recycle all of the materials we use in our daily lives.some materials are not recyclable, such as certain food containers.others items are not biodegradable regardless of what we reuse them for, and that can create problems in the long run. my opponent would use these limitations of our ability to recycle to counter my points about the materials we can recycle.however, this is not an “all or nothing” scenario.we should reuse and recycle the materials that we can and try our best not to buy materials and products that can’t be reused or recycled.by doing our part and encouraging others to do their part, we can increase our chances of conserving our remaining natural and manmade resources over time.
