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.

The correct answer is: Option C. To persuade readers that women deserve the right to vote.


The author begins their statement by introducing a man's point of view in a scenario where women are allowed to vote, and how that would alter their ego and social behaviour. This is done as a means to present a reason for men not to take a policy like that so lightly. The author then, with the final phrase "Let the majority rule", clearly invites the readers to have their voices heard about the matter, expecting these to be raised on favor of women.
