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.

1. How would you describe the tone and purpose<br> of these excerpts from McNeil's oral history?
Setler [38]

Answer:

<u>the tone</u> used in McNeil's oral history<u> is confessional</u> and <u>the purpos</u>e seems to be that by making simple, humble statements the narrator is able to <u>present his own morality and his struggles in statements and not as pleadings</u>.

Explanation:

these excerpts are from a<u> narrator who comes from a marginalized community engaging in a protest against the government</u>. this kind of oration is known as <u>deceptively simple</u>.

on the surface, the text seems uninviting and simplistic. but the layer of rebellion is subdued by the matter of factly tone to become more of a defiance to which the common person can easily identify and sympathize with. It also s<u>hows the strength of the narrator</u> by not betraying their emotions to the reader.
