The four parts of the above excerpt from W. W. Jacobs's "The Monkey's Paw" which shows that the White family doubts the Major's story are:
1.) "Sounds like the 'Arabian Nights,'” said Mrs. White, as she rose and began to set the supper. "Don't you think you might wish for four pairs of hands for me."
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, "we shan't make much out of it."
3.) "Likely," said Herbert, with pretended horror. "Why, we're going to be rich, and famous and happy. Wish to be an emperor, father, to begin with; then you can't be henpecked."
4.) Mr. White took the paw from his pocket and eyed it dubiously. "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."
When the Major told the story about the Monkey's paw to the White Family they didn't trust the story. It was for them a tale which can never happen in real life. The conversation between Mr. and Mrs. White regarding the Monkey's paw had a humorous approach. Their son Herbert was also excited to test the reality of the paw and become rich by making a wish from it.

The statement best describes the rhyme schemes of "To My Dear Loving Husband" and "To the King's Most Excellent Majesty" is option b. Both poets use couplets for rhyme scheme and structure, inverting sentences when needed to maintain the rhyme. In poetry, a couplet is a pair of successive lines of meter that rhyme and have the same meter. The author uses this literary technique to call the reader's attention.
In George Orwell's book "Animal Farm", Napoleon is represented as a scary and intimidating pig, who controls the other animals through fear and propaganda. In the book, the first descriptions of him were "fierce-looking" boar "with a reputation for getting his own way." as well. Napoleon was also a metaphor for Joseph Stalin, so the animals on Animal Farm see Napoleon the same way people saw Stalin. For example, both Stalin and Napoleon surrounded themselves with guards, they were cruel, and wanted power and were willing to use any means necessary to get it.
