Answer:
D. To make social calls.
Explanation:
The short story "The Open Window" by Saki a.k.a. H. H. Munro is about the main character Framton Nuttel and his retreat to the countryside. The story is a hilarious yet horrific experience for Nuttel who became the latest victim of the playful niece, Vera's love of storytelling.
Framton Nuttel has been advised by his doctor to not exert himself mentally. In a bid to cure his nervous condition, he had gone to the countryside to relax and calm himself. And to make himself acquainted with the neighbors of that retreat, his sister had written letters of introduction to help him in his social calls.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
In the lines from Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Macbeth," Lady Macbeth is talking to herself while she is sleep walking. She feels so guilty that she cannot sleep properly. In that respect, she means that she and Macbeth do not need to fear anything because they are so powerful that nobody will believe they are responsible for killing Duncan. However, she does not actually think so - she is only trying to convince herself of it because she is under the impression that everybody is suspicious of Macbeth.

This figment of his imagination as depicted by this paragraph creates rising action and suspense. Also, what is depicted in the paragraph does not suggest there any future conflict in Ithenhiel’s family. Rather, we can infer that this paragraph evokes opposition revealing Ithenhiel’s own thought, thereby creating rising action and suspense.
