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.

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Reread the conclusion of the story. How does the author’s portrayal of the old man departing contribute to the meaning of the text?

A.  The ending shows how even sympathetic reactions are rooted in selfishness.

Explanation:

The reasons behind this answer are two: The first one is that the author finds a breaking point of analysis to point out that sympathetic reactions are fundamental in self-centered objectives. That they are meant to make the executer feel better of himself or herself. That it is a selfish act because it is not made by thinking 100% on the other but by how they will benefit the executor.
