Question

Judson, reaching for his boots, stepped fairly upon the acorn, his foot slid from under him and his head struck the massive table as he fell. Several minutes later he began to regain his senses. Alec’s strong arm was supporting his as he lay on the porch and a kindly voice was saying: “’Twarn’t much of a fall, Mr. Webb. You aren’t cut none; jest knocked out for a minute. Here, take this; it’ll pull you together.” A small glass was pressed to his lips. Dazed and half-conscious, he drank.

Explain how Judson’s desire to revenge caused his death.

Answer 1

Answer:

Judson poisoned a bottle of Whiskey to get revenge on a thief, but ended up drinking from that bottle, causing his death.

Explanation:

Through the excerpt presented in the question above, we can see that this question refers to the text "Ruthless" William DeMille. In this text we meet Judson a man who has a collection of alcoholic beverages. Judson realizes that his whiskey is being stolen as someone is drinking without his permission.

For this reason, he poisons the bottle of whiskey, intending to get revenge on the thief, who will die of poison when he drinks. However, Judson slips and falls to the ground, hitting his head hard. He is found semi unconscious and someone decides to make him drink a glass of whiskey to regain consciousness. However, this person causes him to drink the poisoned whiskey, which causes Judson's death.
