c. persuade the commissioners to place street lamps along the road
<span>Gatto: An aura of paranoia seems to pervade Gatto’s angry, impressioned plea for changes to America’s educational system; as part of his argument, he tries to convince us that we are pawns in a gigantic plot. Gatto identifies with the students whose lives, he believes, have been ruined by some monstrous entity-“corporate society”? ----that tries to grind children down until they become docile, robotic creatures. His presentation-particularly toward the end-is facile and ideological; it can be hard to accept his unexplained, unsupported assertions. For example, is the purpose of tracking students necessarily the elimination of the inferior ones, or can one interpret it as one way of maintaining a meritocracy? A good summary should refer to Gatto’s scattershot method of argument. One might also question the accuracy of his paraphrases. Inglis’s list of educational purposes, for example, might be presented quite differently by a more conservative commentator. It is a loaded topic.</span>
The introduction and the history of the talisman is the initial rising action in the W. W. Jacobs short story, "The Monkey's Paw." The Whites inherit the paw from their acquaintance, Sergeant-Major Morris, who reveals the mysterious past of the shriveled hand. When he throws it into the fireplace, Mr. White retrieves it. Morris warns them to wish wisely before leaving for the night.
The rising action continues as Mr. White makes his first wish.
"I wish for two hundred pounds," said the old man distinctly.
Mr. White feels the paw move, and a depressing feeling of uneasiness falls upon the family for the remainder of the night. The next morning, Mr. and Mrs. White are paid a visit from the company where their son, Herbert, works. He has been killed in a grisly accident--"caught in the machinery"--and the Whites are offered a compensation of 200 pounds. Although it could be argued that this is the climax to the story, the action actually continues to rise a bit longer as the Whites exercise their second wish--for Herbert to be alive again. The rising action peaks when the Whites realize that their less-than-specific wish has an alternate possibility--that Herbert may be revived but in his deathly, crippled state.

Answer:
C). He is angry and disappointed with his son.
Explanation:
In reference to the Nigerian folktale 'The Tortoise with a Pretty Daughter', the chief reason for making the law regarding daughters by stating that 'any girl finer than fifty wives of the Prince shall be killed along with her parents' is that 'he is very angry and disappointed with his son' who did not like any of the fifty young wives offered to him by his father. In his wrath, he passed this law due to which the tortoise and his wife keep their daughter(who was very beautiful) hidden to guard her against this law. However, the prince falls in love with her later and gets married to her after a long battle with his father(due to the law passed by him). Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
