Read the excerpt from “The Monkey's Paw.” Mr. White dropped his wife's hand, and rising to his feet, gazed with a look of horror at his visitor. His dry lips shaped the words, "How much?" "Two hundred pounds," was the answer. Unconscious of his wife's shriek, the old man smiled faintly, put out his hands like a sightless man, and dropped, a senseless heap, to the floor.
Which word helps reveal the mood of horror in the excerpt?
gazed
shaped
faintly
shriek
Answer:
Shriek
Explanation:
According to the excerpt from “The Monkey's Paw.”, the story of Mr White and his encounter with a seller when he was with his wife is told. Mr. White is said to have dropped his wife's hand and with a horrified look asked for the price and when he was told it was two hundred dollars, his wife shrieked and he became unconscious.
The word that helps reveal the mood of horror in the excerpt is the word "shriek" because it helps show the mood of horror and shock the couple faced.
...What is the word in italics?
I'm assuming by the options and context clues, the word is "ponderous"
It should be heavy, because ponderous means with a lot of weight(basically).
If it was sharp why would she pick it up? If it was slippery, why would she make her neighbor pick it up? If it was too heavy for her to remove, she would go get help from her neighbor.
So yeah, your answer is C, heavy.
Hey there!

Final answer:
The first option.
Hope this helps you.

Answer and Explanation:
One of the main themes of Wolf's text is how society does not provide equal opportunities for men and women, preventing talented women from exercising their skills by producing something valuable for humanity. To represent this theme, she states that if Shakespeare had a sister as talented as he, she would never be able to write stories, as she could not learn to read and write and even if she did, people would not value what she would write because she was a woman, even if she writes better than her brother.
