A. All was ready. The signal was given.

Explanation:

In The Lady or the Tiger a primitive ruler devises an especially imaginative type of discipline. At the point when a retainer sets out to cherish the lord's little girl, he's compelled to pick between two entryways: one with a woman behind it, and one with a tiger. His definitive destiny is obscure.  

Lawbreakers and detainees who have annoyed the ruler are taken before two entryways and after that compelled to settle on a decision. In the event that he picks effectively, he'll wed the woman behind one of these entryways. If not, he'll be battered by an eager tiger.  

A subject of low station experiences passionate feelings for the Princess and endeavors to charm her. This demonstration annoys the lord, who rebuffs the subject.  

The Princess tries to find which entryway has the woman behind it. In spite of the fact that she doesn't need the squire to wed, she doesn't need him to bite the dust, either. At the pivotal minute, she flag him to pick the correct entryway. The story closes without the peruser knowing whether it was the correct choice.

the question concerns exactly this part of the speech:

i am not now thinking of the loss of property involved, immense and serious as that is, but only of the wanton and wholesale destruction of the lives of non-combatants, men, women, and children, engaged in pursuits which have always, even in the darkest periods of modern history, been deemed innocent and legitimate. property can be paid for; the lives of the peaceful and innocent people cannot be.

president wilson talks about the lives of people destroyed by german army. but these people are not americans, they are the local people living in europe. the president mentions the barbarity of germans, considering that he is not targeting the nation, instead it is said about german army. the correct answer is the last one.

he is. some of his decisions were very irresponsible and did lead to the death of both romeo and juliet, such as him marrying them too quick or him not clarifying romeo's plan with him.

basically he did not think things through well enough or at all.

hope this
