Read the excerpt from “The Monkey's Paw.”
"Might drop on his head from the sky," said the frivolous Herbert.
"Morris said the things happened so naturally," said his father, "that you might if you so wished attribute it to coincidence."
"Well, don't break into the money before I come back," said Herbert as he rose from the table. "I'm afraid it'll turn you into a mean, avaricious man, and we shall have to disown you."
His mother laughed, and following him to the door, watched him down the road; and returning to the breakfast table, was very happy at the expense of her husband's credulity. All of which did not prevent her from scurrying to the door at the postman's knock, nor prevent her from referring somewhat shortly to retired sergeant-majors . . . when she found that the post brought a tailor's bill.

How does Mrs. White’s reaction to wishing on the monkey’s paw compare to Mr. White’s?

Mrs. White does not believe in the magic, but Mr. White does.
Mrs. White believes in the magic, but Mr. White does not.
They both believe in the magic.
Neither believes in the magic.

Answer:

They both believe in the magic.

Explanation:

The short story "The Monkey's Paw" by W. W. Jacobs revolves around the magical ability of a monkey's paw in fulfilling three wishes to its owner. The story relays the message the greed is never good for anyone, let alone bring people happiness.

Mr. White acquired the talisman from his friend Sergeant Major Morris who had got it during his time in India. And he believed that the talisman brings harm more than luck, and threw into the fire. But Mr. White took it out and decided to keep it for himself. This shows that he somehow believed in the magical ability of the monkey's paw. And like her husband, Mrs. White as well as their son Herbert also believed in the paw's magic. Their conversation about the "two hundred pounds" and their belief that it'll be granted shows their belief in the monkey's paw and its magical abilities.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

Answer:

C or They both believe in the magic.

Read this excerpt from Emily Dickinson's “There Is Another Sky.” Which two lines show that the poem is addressed to a person the speaker knows well?

There is another sky,
Ever serene and fair,
And there is another sunshine,
((Though it be darkness there;
Never mind faded forests, Austin,))
Never mind silent fields -
Here is a little forest,
Whose leaf is ever green;
((Here is a brighter garden,))
Where not a frost has been;
((In its unfading flowers))
I hear the bright bee hum:
((Prithee, my brother,
Into my garden come!))

write a sentence about turtles that uses an interrupter comma ​

The idea of invisible ink had been around for a long time. Write using lemon juice as ink, for instance, and the writing will be invisible. Heat the paper, and the writing will appear, looking as if it were written in brown ink. British agents used two types of ink. One could be made visible by holding the paper over the flame of a candle; the other could be read by applying a common chemical. Major John Andre, the chief British intelligence officer in New York, told his agents to put an F in the corner of letters containing invisible ink needing fire to read and A for those needing acid.

The author’s main purpose in this excerpt is toexplain the use of invisible ink during the American Revolution.
expose unsuccessful spying tactics used by the British during the American Revolution.
teach readers how to create secret documents using common chemicals.
