Answer:

The answer is option B "ignoring the wisdom and experience of others can lead to terrible consequences".

Explanation:

The story referred to is "The Monkey's Paw" by W.W. Jacobs. Option B is the correct answer because, in the story, Sergeant-Major Morris told the Whites that there was a Fakir who had put a spell on the paw by saying: "Fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow". Morris was clearly warning them but Mr. White did not believe him.

What does the author most likely mean in line 18 when

OLga [1]

Answer:

The notion of the phoenix probably means that love gives her hope for a change or better life. The phoenix symbolizes being recreated or reborn.

Explanation:

It is likely the author means that women often feel like love is their escape or that once they find a husband they can be reborn from having to succumb always to the wills of men in her life. A phoenix is a mythological bird that is reborn again after burning, emerging from the ashes as reborn. Love gives them hope for a time but then the "disturbed rest" and "painful signs" suggest that she suffers because of love as well. The entire poem laments the position of women at that time which was conceived as normally controlled by and subservient to men.
