Irving Washington's short story is about the guests of a host who are going to spend the night in host's home. They are going to spend the night at different rooms and one of the rooms is haunted as host indicates it. The narrator tells the story from this room he has meant for. There is a picture which fills him with the horror of feelings and antipathy. When it's revealed that this narrator has seen the ghost, he tells the story of this picture and first the gentlemen make the fun out of it. However, later it is unraveled by host that the picture indeed was haunted. Options B and C describes narrator's feelings in the room. Option A is the description of the night at breakfast. The correct answer is D when the narrator tells the story and everybody laughs.
Most of the excerpts have hints of comedic satire but the one answer that piques the satire format is the one focusing on the constant repeat of 'A picture!'
The sentence that is grammatically correct is: Tess’ revisions to the report increased its readability significantly.
Explanation:
The fourth/last option (sentence) is correct because an apostrophe is required after the noun (Tess) to indicate that the noun (Tess) is possessive; in addition, the word "its" is appropriate, and not in a contracted form—it's—which represents "it is".
