Which is the best summary of the underlined section of paragraph 5 of the lady or the tiger?
a. some people are eaten by a tiger
b. the crowd goes home with saddened hearts
c. the accused chooses one of two identical doors in the arena. one door hides a hungry tiger.

it was the duty and the privilege of the person on trial to walk directly to these doors and open one of them. he could open either door he ; he was subject to no guidance or influence but that of the aforementioned impartial and incorruptible chance. if he opened the one, there came out of it a hungry tiger, the fiercest and most cruel that could be procured, which immediately sprang upon him and tore him to pieces as a punishment for his guilt. the moment that the case of the criminal was thus decided, doleful iron bells were clanged, great wails went up from the hired mourners posted on the outer rim of the arena, and the vast audience, with bowed heads and downcast hearts, wended slowly their homeward way, mourning greatly that one so young and fair, or so old and respected, should have merited so dire a fate.
