Larry had stolen some money, but the police had caught him and he had been put in prison. Now his trial was about to begin, and he felt sure that he would be found guilty and sent to prison for a long time.
Then he discovered that an old friend of his was one of the members of the jury at his trial. Of course, he didn’t tell anybody, but he managed to see his friend secretly one day. He said to him, "Karl, I know that the jury will find me guilty. I cannot hope to be found not guilty of taking the money—that would be too much to expect. But I should be grateful to you for the rest of my life if you could persuade the other members of the jury to add a strong recommendation for mercy to their statement that they consider me guilty."
"Well, Larry," answered Karl, "I shall certainly try to do what I can for you as an old friend, but of course I cannot promise anything. The other eleven people of the jury look terribly strong-minded to me."
Larry said that he would quite understand if Karl was not able to do anything for him, and thanked him warmly for agreeing to help.
The trial went on and in the end the jury found Larry guilty, with a strong recommendation for mercy, as Larry had wished. Of course Larry was very pleased. When some time after the trial Karl went to visit him in prison, Larry thanked him warmly and asked Karl how he managed to persuade the other members of the jury to recommend mercy.
"Well, Larry," Karl answered, "as I thought, those eleven people were very difficult to persuade, but I managed it in the end by tiring them out. Do you know, those fools had all wanted to find you not guilty!"
Why couldn’t Karl promise anything?
选项
A、He didn’t want to lend Larry a hand.
B、Larry’s case was too serious.
C、Larry would be found guilty for sure.
D、The other members of the jury might not listen to his recommendation.
答案
D
解析
本题考查细节。由第三段中Karl说The other eleven people of the jury look terribly strong-minded to me“陪审团的其他成员看起来都果断坚定”,言外之意他们未必能听他的。
