Answer:

The correct answers are C Chance can play a big part in people's fates and D Civilized justice does not mix well with barbarism.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question refers to The Lady or the Tiger, by Frank Stockton, and it is about the unfair trial of a courtier who fell in love with the princess. In literature, the major theme refers to the main idea or ideas of the story. There are other minor themes in the story, such as love, but due to the fact that the courtier has to choose between two doors (the woman or the tiger) and the setting (it seems like a kind of barbarian society) the correct answers are C and D.
