This was a Russian short story entitled The Bet. It was about which is a better punishment, death penalty or solitary confinement. 

The lawyer was against the death penalty and favored life imprisonment.  The banker thought the other way around.  To settle it they both bet for 2 million rubles if the lawyer would stand confinement for 15 years.  If not, the banker wins the bet. 

Based on the story the answer is false because he bet on one of the options.

Since, in means “not” and sense means “to feel,” this means that insensibility is when you are in the state of no feeling. You are unconscious and are not aware of what is going on. I used the Latin prefixes to figure out my meaning.

First and foremost, supervisors

First and foremost, supervisors have the ability to teach the job you will be doing.  This is so because, in order for a supervisor to provide good supervision in regard to determine whether those being supervised are performing well their jobs, supervisors will need to know how to perform the job themselves.   As such, because the will have most likely done the job well themselves in order to achieve a supervisory position, they would certainly have the ability to teach it to you.

What type of figurative language is the car chugged around the mountain
marissa [1.9K]

Chugged is the main word that should give it away. It is kind of exaggerating the car going up the mountain. I assume it would be a hyperbole.

Hope I helped!

Compare how Chesterton and the author of “The Instinct that Makes People Rich” interpret the Midas myth. How do these different
Viktor [21]
The writer of "The Instinct that Makes People Rich" interprets the Midas myth as the story of a man who could not fail.

Chesterton, however, says that Midas DID fail. He starved because he could not eat gold.

Chesterton says that success always comes at the sacrifice of something else, something "domestic." (By this he means that, yes, a millionaire has money but will lack something else, like love or friendship, etc.) He says that people who think Midas succeeded are just like the author of the article -- both worship money.

Chesterton says that worshipping money has nothing to do with success and everything to do with snobbery.
