Answer:
The one who kills in a few second is more humane.
Step-by-step explanation:
"The Bet" is a short story written by Anton Chekhov. The story is about a bet between the banker and a lawyer. The bet was which punishment is better; death penalty or life imprisonment.
The banker is the story asked the given question. The more humane executioner is the one who kills in a few seconds because dying within a few seconds is better than dying for life in isolation.
Life imprisonment is not less than a mental torture in which the prisoners await his death. But, on the other hand, the death penalty takes life in a few seconds giving pain for some time only.
