In The Lady, or the Tiger, which inference can be best made about why the king is

described as "semi-barbaric" rather than wholly barbaric?

a) The queen is the other half of the royal leadership that punishes criminals in

the arena.

b) Only one door in the king's arena leads to death while the other door leads to

marriage.

The king shows fairness to the people accused of crimes by allowing them to

choose their punishment.

nd Only one person in the kingdom has been tried in the arena while other

criminals have been forgiven.
