which would be the best summary of this paragraph?7- "this was the king's semi-barbaric method of administering justice. its perfect fairness is obvious. the criminal could not know out of which door would come the lady; he opened either he pleased, without having the slightest idea whether, in the next instant, he was to be devoured or married. on some occasions the tiger came out of one door, and on some out of the other. the decisions of this tribunal were not only fair, they were positively determinate: the accused person was instantly punished if he found himself guilty, and, if innocent, he was rewarded on the spot, whether he liked it or not. there was no escape from the judgments of the king's arena." a. the accused always knows the door in front of the tiger. b. the king decides the person's guilt and opens the appropriate door. c. the guilt of a criminal is self-determined by the choice he makes when he opens the door.
