This looks like a multiple-choice question where you need to select the correct option to complete the sentence. Based on the context provided in the screenshot, it appears to be a question about legal proceedings and slander.
Let's break down the options and the context:
- The initial part of the sentence is: "In the courts it is possible: ..."
- Option 1 visible is: "On words"
- Option 2 visible is: "In reality" followed by ": all court proceedings in the country end not in favor of the accused." This suggests a contrast between what is possible "in reality" and the outcome of court proceedings.
- Another sentence fragment is: "The emperor himself supports the spread of gossip." This implies that such actions might be tolerated or even encouraged at higher levels, which is contradictory to a fair judicial system.
- The last visible fragment is: "for slander, people are awaited by court and severe punishment." This clearly states that slander leads to legal consequences.
Without the full question and all the answer choices, it's impossible to definitively select the correct answer. However, the provided text snippets hint at a scenario where:
- There's a contrast between what might be said or perceived versus what happens in reality in court.
- There's a mention of the emperor's potential influence on gossip, which could be a distractor or part of the context.
- Slander is explicitly mentioned as leading to punishment.
To provide a correct answer, I would need the complete question and all the options to choose from. The current information is fragmented.
