Answer:
D. A simple misunderstanding can easily spin out of control.
Explanation:
According to the book "The Night The Ghost Got In" by James Thurber, it is narrated by James Thurber of events that happened when he was a kid.
He recalls coming out of the bathtub by 1:15 am and hearing footsteps downstairs. At first he is convinced that it is a relative but when the footsteps don't stop after some time, he becomes scared. His mother's attention is drawn to it and she also says she heard the footsteps so they become convinced they have burglars in the house.
They call the police and when the police arrive, they cannot find any signs of forced entry, neither can they find any burglar, and in the course of their search, they encounter the grandfather in the attic who has PTSD from the war and grabs the gun of one of the officers and shoots him.
The theme of this story is that a simple misunderstanding can easily spin out of control.
Well, clearly we can eliminate B and D (second and fourth). So now we are left with A and C (first and second). A is clearly irritated and C is kind of what she/he is describing. So, I believe that A (the first one) should be your best answer. Hope this helps. Please tell me if I am incorrect so I can correct myself. Thanks! Have a nice day. Smiles <3.
