There is a tale, “the ring of gyges,” that feldman sometimes tells his economist friends. it comes from plato’s republic. a student named glaucon offered the story in response to a lesson by socrates—who, like adam smith, argued that people are generally good even without enforcement. glaucon, like feldman’s economist friends, disagreed. he told of a shepherd named gyges who stumbled upon a secret cavern with a corpse inside that wore a ring. when gyges put on the ring, he found that it made him invisible. with no one able to monitor his behavior, gyges proceeded to do woeful things—seduce the queen, murder the king, and so on. glaucon’s story posed a moral question: could any man resist the temptation of evil if he knew his acts could not be witnessed? glaucon seemed to think the answer was no.

Explanation:
Ответ:
Having seen this question before, I believe it is B.
Explanation:
The moment of highest tension is the climax of the story. Cameron's father tells her to clean her room, signaling the introductory portion of the story (option A). Then Cameron finds a stopwatch to use to time herself after rummaging, signaling the rising action of the story (option C). Option B would be your climax, seeing as she started the stopwatch and raced on to cleaning. After that Cameron is cleaning her room, signaling your falling action (option D). Out of all the options, it makes the most sense.
