Answer 2

Answer:

b) Bait

Explanation:

This question is based on a short story, The Rattrap written by a Swedish writer, Selma Lagerlof.

• The Rattrap is a story about a rat-trap vendor who lives in poverty due to his low profits.
• To make ends meet, he needs to resort to thieving and begging. The peddler had to look for shelter every night because he didn't have a place to call home.
• An ancient crofter offered him shelter one evening. He stole the crofter's money the next morning, which he had earned by selling his cow's milk.
• The peddler realized he couldn't stroll down the street with stolen money in his pocket. He went for a walk in the woods. He didn't make it to the end of the woods because he kept going.
• Then, he realized he'd gotten himself caught in the rat trap. He had been fooled by a bait and had fallen prey to it

Therefore, the correct answer is Bait.
