(c) I have not to pay money as punishment.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is (b) "I may have to pay for many of my mistakes."

Explanation:

This sentence is actually the first line of the poem "The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám," translated by Edward FitzGerald. The full line is "The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, / Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit / Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, / Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it." The poem is reflecting on the idea that our actions and words have consequences, and once they have been put into the world, we cannot undo them. The phrase "charged with punishments the scroll" suggests that the record of our actions and words is a kind of account book, and we may be held accountable for our mistakes.

So, option b is the correct answer.
