Answer:

A. The reader learns that she is confident and composed which makes her appear credible.

Explanation:

Saki's short story "The Open Window" is about a character named Framton Nuttel who had gone to his new neighbor's house to be introduced. And while waiting for the lady of the house, he was told a rather ghastly story by the niece Vera, which was in fact, just a lie.

Through her narration of how her aunt keeps the window open in anticipation of the arrival of her husband and brothers from their hunting, Vera managed to 'horrify' Framton. So, when the hunting party arrived, Framton dashed out of the house, which Mrs. Sappleton admits <em>"One would think he had seen a ghost"</em>. And Vera's declaration of how it must have been the spaniel that led Mr. Framton rushing out of the house shows how self-possessed she is and also contributes to the reader's understanding of her character.  She finds joy in the scene and seems to be enjoying it. And <u>her confident and composed nature at the scene shows her self-possessed nature.</u>

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

This group of explorers were seeking "gold, god and glory?
nekit [7.7K]
Historians use a standard shorthand, “Gold, God, and Glory,” to describe the motives generating the overseas exploration, expansion, and conquests that allowed various European countries to rise to world power between 1400 and 1750. “Gold” refers to the search for material gain through acquiring and selling Asian spices, African slaves, American metals, and other resources. As merchants gained influence in late-medieval western Europe, they convinced their governments to establish a direct connection to the lucrative Asian trade, leading to the first European voyages of discovery in the 1400s. “God” refers to the militant crusading and missionary traditions of Christianity, characterized in part by rivalry with Islam and hatred of non-Christian religions. “Glory” alludes to the competition between monarchies. Some kings sought to establish their claims to newly contacted territories so as to strengthen their position in European politics and increase their power at the expense of the landowning nobility. They also embraced the ideology of mercantilism, which held that governments and large private companies should cooperate to increase the state’s wealth by increasing the reserves of precious metals. Motivated by these three aims, several western European peoples gained control or influence over widening segments of the globe during the Early Modern Era. By 1914 Europeans dominated much of the world politically and economically. Hope this helps!
