Answer:
A. The reader learns that she is confident and composed which makes her appear credible.
Explanation:
Saki's short story "The Open Window" is about a character named Framton Nuttel who had gone to his new neighbor's house to be introduced. And while waiting for the lady of the house, he was told a rather ghastly story by the niece Vera, which was in fact, just a lie.
Through her narration of how her aunt keeps the window open in anticipation of the arrival of her husband and brothers from their hunting, Vera managed to 'horrify' Framton. So, when the hunting party arrived, Framton dashed out of the house, which Mrs. Sappleton admits <em>"One would think he had seen a ghost"</em>. And Vera's declaration of how it must have been the spaniel that led Mr. Framton rushing out of the house shows how self-possessed she is and also contributes to the reader's understanding of her character. She finds joy in the scene and seems to be enjoying it. And <u>her confident and composed nature at the scene shows her self-possessed nature.</u>

Option D
<u>Explanation</u>:
The feeling of discomfort when a person's beliefs run opposite to their behavior and new information that is being presented to someone is called cognitive dissonance. Generally, people hold consistent belief in what they know is the truth, and when it is challenged, a feeling of disturbance or discomfort arrives. Leon Festinger, a renowned psychologist said that people have inner need to ensure their beliefs and behaviors are totally consistent or not. Also, the frequency of dissonance depends upon many factors like how much they value their beliefs and to what degree they are inconsistent.
