Morris says that the holder of the monkey's paw will be conceded three wishes. "The Monkey's Paw" is set in the White family home in England. It starts on a dull and stormy night, so we know we're in for a startling story. The Whites – Mr. what's more, Mrs. White and their grown-up child Herbert – are inside appreciating a comfortable night around the fire. 
Before long Sergeant-Major Morris arrives. He's been in the armed force in India for as long as 21 years. He recounts the Whites stories of his experiences in that faraway land and demonstrates to them a monkey's paw that has the ability to concede three wishes. Mr. White needs the paw, yet Morris reveals to him it's reviled – individuals get hurt when their desires are conceded. He tries to consume the paw in the fire, however, Mr. White grabs it up and gets it. After Morris leaves, Mr. White, after Herbert's recommendation, wishes for two hundred pounds, the measure of cash he would need to pay off the bank and claim the house inside and out.

Which sentence summarizes the passage best?
Tomtit [17]
Here is the full passage for this question:

<span>There is likewise another diversion which is only shown before the emperor and the empress, and first minister, upon particular occasions. The emperor lays on the table three fine silken threads of six inches long; one is purple, the other yellow, and the third white. These threads are proposed as prizes for those persons whom the emperor has a mind to distinguish by a peculiar mark of his favor. . . . The emperor holds a stick in his hands, both ends parallel to the horizon, while the candidates advancing, one by one, sometimes leap over the stick, sometimes creep under it, backward and forward, several times, according as the stick is advanced or depressed.
</span>

I think the answer would be: <span>The emperor rewards his subjects for jumping over and under a stick.

The full passage basically tell the readers about the strange contest that both the emperor and the empress like to conduct. We can see from the third sentence that those who are able to finish emperor's contest will be rewarded with a thread of silk.</span>
