Among the lines in the excerpt, these four lines best shows that Mr. White and Herbert doubt Seargent-major's story:

<span>1.) "Sounds like the 'Arabian Nights,'” said Mrs. White, as she rose and began to set the supper. "<em>Don't you think you might wish for four pairs of hands for me</em>."
</span>
2.) "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, "<em>we shan't make much out of it.</em>"

<span>3.) "Likely," said Herbert, with pretended horror. "Why, we're going to be rich, and famous and happy. <em>Wish to be an emperor, father, to begin with; then you can't be henpecked</em>."

</span><span>4.) Mr. White took the paw from his pocket and <em>eyed it dubiously</em>. "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."

Other lines, not included above, were said by </span>Seargent-major so that's out of the choices.

Some one help me... i need to match the meaning's to the roots
Ahat [919]

Answer:

1. cogon - to know

(A Latin word meaning ‘to learn’ gives rise to the English word root cogn. Primarily because of French, the root conn also comes from this root.)

2. cap - to take, seize

(this root word means to seize or take control of and is the base for other words such as "captivate" that means to attract or capture. Therefore, the root word "cap" means to take, or seize rather than to do, see or carry.)

3. sta, sti - to stand

(Proto-Indo-European root meaning "to stand, set down, make or be firm," with derivatives meaning "place or thing that is standing.")

4. pli, plic - to fold

(The English stem plic comes from a Latin root word meaning ‘fold,’ as in to “bend over on itself” or “bend in two.”)

5. duc - to lead

(The Latin root words duc and duct mean to ‘lead.’ Some common English vocabulary words that come from this root word include educate, reduce, produce, and product.)

6. vert - to turn (The Latin root word vert means ‘turn.’. For instance, when you invert something, you ‘turn’ it on its head, or upside-down.)

7. voc, vok - to call

(The Latin root word voc and its variant vok both mean “call.” These roots are the word origins of a fair number of English vocabulary words, including vocal, vocabulary, invoke, and provoke.

8. mis - to send  

(A prefix is a word part added to the beginning of a word. It changes the meaning of a word. Mis- is a prefix that is used in many words. Misunderstand, misguide, and misprint are all words that have the prefix mis- in them.)

9. ten, tain - to hold  

(The Latin root word ten means “hold.” This root is the word origin of many English vocabulary words, including maintenance, tenor, and tenacious)

10. nym - to name

(a combining form meaning “word,” “name”: pseudonym. [ultimately < Greek -ōnymos having the kind of name specified, comb. form representing ónyma, dial. variant of ónoma name])

Explanation:

The above are latin words and their meanings are next to each of them.

What is the Author<br> implying in the phrase the wind must have been right
Julli [10]
Wind is often used for directional and navigational purposes, so this could mean that the author followed something by the wind whether it be how high or low the air- pressure is or which way the wind is blowing. Aswell as the fact that Wind is a major factor in weather determination. For example, if the wind blows ina counter- clockwise direction, then the air pressure is low which means that the weather is or will be bad like rain or storms. 
Hope this helps!

Answer:

B. She served as president for 23 years before resigning amidst claims that money was being mishandled internally.

Explanation:

For this question, you want an answer that is targeting Clara as its main point.  The other answers (A, C, and D) are all incorrect because they are talking about topics unrelated to Clara, such as the Civil War, American Red Cross, etc. Thus, your best option is B.
