All was ready. The signal was given. A door beneath the
royal party opened, and the lover of the princess walked into
the arena. Tall, beautiful, fair, his appearance was greeted
with a low hum of admiration and anxiety. Half the audience
had not known so grand a youth had lived among them. No
wonder the princess loved him!

A. All was ready. The signal was given.

Explanation:

In The Lady or the Tiger a primitive ruler devises an especially imaginative type of discipline. At the point when a retainer sets out to cherish the lord's little girl, he's compelled to pick between two entryways: one with a woman behind it, and one with a tiger. His definitive destiny is obscure.  

Lawbreakers and detainees who have annoyed the ruler are taken before two entryways and after that compelled to settle on a decision. In the event that he picks effectively, he'll wed the woman behind one of these entryways. If not, he'll be battered by an eager tiger.  

A subject of low station experiences passionate feelings for the Princess and endeavors to charm her. This demonstration annoys the lord, who rebuffs the subject.  

The Princess tries to find which entryway has the woman behind it. In spite of the fact that she doesn't need the squire to wed, she doesn't need him to bite the dust, either. At the pivotal minute, she flag him to pick the correct entryway. The story closes without the peruser knowing whether it was the correct choice.
