Which sentences in this excerpt from W. W. Jacobs's "The Monkey's Paw" show that the White family doubts the major's story? "Hol

d it up in your right hand, and wish aloud," said the Sergeant-Major, "But I warn you of the consequences." "Sounds like the 'Arabian Nights,'” said Mrs. White, as she rose and began to set the supper. "Don't you think you might wish for four pairs of hands for me." Her husband drew the talisman from his pocket, and all three burst into laughter as the Sergeant-Major, with a look of alarm on his face, caught him by the arm. "If you must wish," he said gruffly, "Wish for something sensible." … "If the tale about the monkey's paw is not more truthful than those he has been telling us," said Herbert, as the door closed behind their guest, just in time to catch the last train, "we shan't make much out of it." "Did you give him anything for it, father?" inquired Mrs. White, regarding her husband closely. "A trifle," said he, colouring slightly. "He didn't want it, but I made him take it. And he pressed me again to throw it away." "Likely," said Herbert, with pretended horror. "Why, we're going to be rich, and famous and happy. Wish to be an emperor, father, to begin with; then you can't be henpecked." He darted round the table, pursued by the maligned Mrs. White armed with an antimacassar. Mr. White took the paw from his pocket and eyed it dubiously. "I don't know what to wish for, and that's a fact," he said, slowly. "It seems to me I've got all I want."

10. Steps are to stairs as beads are to A string B. rings. C necklace D jewelry​
laila [671]
Sorry I am not positive, but I think D makes the most sense.

As stairs are made out of steps, jewelry is made out of beads. (Sorry if that doesnt make sense)

Answer:Intimate space

Explanation:Intimate space refers to as your own bubble, which surrounds you up to about 18 inches from your physical body , this is a space which can only be occupied by those who are very close to you for example your family , romantic partner and friends. This is a space in which you are able to even touch the person because it is like a foot away from you and you are comfortable enough with the people who are in this bubble that you wouldn't mind them touched by you .

However if you are in a public place which is crowded it is very likely that people will invade this space and get into your bubble
