B. In some situations, the right choice is not easy to find.
Explanation:
"The Lady, or the Tiger" is a short story by American author and humorist Frank Richard Stockton. One of the themes revealed through the story is that, in some situations, the right choice is not easy to find. That theme comes through the dilemma which is faced by the princess.
She has fallen in love with a man of inferior birth. Her father, a semi-barbaric king, arrests the man and decides he will go to trial. The trial, however, is based on luck rather than fairness. The man is supposed to choose one of two doors. Behind it, there may be a tiger or a maiden. If the man chooses the tiger, he dies. If he chooses the maiden, he has to marry her.
Now, the princess has been able to find out which door leads to each fate. And this is where her dilemma starts. If she shows him the door to the maiden, she will lose him, since he will marry someone else. Just thinking about that possibility makes her blood boil with jealousy. But, if she shows him the door to the tiger, she will also lose him, since he will die. What could be the right choice?
