Question

The young man hopes she will _____. a. help him escape b. signal him the door with the lady c. give him a ring d. run away with him

Answer 1

Signal him the door with the lady

Step-by-step explanation:

In "The Lady or the Tiger?" the story clearly states that the princess knew what was behind each door. The accused man thought as much, and looked to her for the correct answer; the door that hid the lady.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

b. Signal him the door with the lady.

Step-by-step explanation:

The short story "The Lady or the Tiger" by Frank R. Stockton is the tragic tale of a courtier who was put on trial for his 'illegal' relationship with the princess. The King had passed a law that allows for a 'fair' judgement for anyone who is accused of anything.

When the young man was put on trial for his romantic relationship with the princess, he was put through the same "semi-barbaric" way of judgement. On the day of the trial, he was put before two doors, one that has a woman who was to become his wife while the other has a tiger who will kill him.

When he looked to the princess for any hint of which one will save him, he wanted her to signal him the door with the woman. But the ending of the story did not tell us clearly what comes out of the door on the right that he had chosen.
