t was cold and wet, but in the small parlour of Laburnam Villa the blinds were drawn and the fire burned brightly. Father and son were at chess, the former, who possessed ideas about the game involving radical changes, putting his king into such sharp and unnecessary perils that it even provoked comment from the white-haired old lady knitting placidly by the fire

Answer:

Quietly, patiently or serenely.

Explanation:

The adjective <em>placid </em>means that something is not easily upset or disturbed. As a result, since adverbs describe actions, in the  excerpt from "The Monkey's Paw" the adverb <em>placidly </em>is used to describe an action like knitting, thus indicating that the white-haired old lady is knitting in a gentle, peaceful and mild manner.

vitfil [10]

A. The author enjoys the sights and sounds of the swamp.  The descriptions gives this one away.

There is no indication that the author lives here, nor is there any mention of tourists.  That takes out B and D.  And while there is many sentences describing the birds, there is just as much description about other species, so we do not know C to be true.  A is the best choice.

Which setting detail advances the action of the scene?
RSB [31]

Answer:

D). "Then the sky darkens, and a loud splattering of rain begins to fall."

Explanation:

The setting describing the darkening of the sky and the loud splattering sound of the beginning of the rain functions to signal the progressing action of the scene. It functions to indicate to the readers that things will not remain as merry as a picnic sight has to be. The sound of rain and dark sky breaks the enjoyment, calmness, and relaxing environment of the day and symbolizes that something fierce is approaching. This prepares the readers for an onset storm and hence, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.
