Read the passage from “The Monkey’s Paw.” The Whites are being offered compensation for Herbert’s death. In what way does the st

ranger’s answer increase the tension of the rising action? From “The Monkey’s Paw” The [visitor] coughed, and rising, walked slowly to the window. “The firm wished me to convey their sincere sympathy with you in your great loss,” he said, without looking round. “I beg that you will understand I am only their servant and merely obeying orders.” There was no reply; the old woman’s face was white, her eyes staring, and her breath inaudible; on the husband’s face was a look such as his friend the sergeant might have carried into his first action. “I was to say that Maw and Meggins disclaim all responsibility,” continued the other. “They admit no liability at all, but in consideration of your son’s services, they wish to present you with a certain sum as compensation.” Mr. White dropped his wife’s hand, and rising to his feet, gazed with a look of horror at his visitor. His dry lips shaped the words, “How much?” “Two hundred pounds,” was the answer. Unconscious of his wife’s shriek, the old man smiled faintly, put out his hands like a sightless man, and dropped, a senseless heap, to the floor. The answer satisfies the first wish, and there are still two wishes left. The answer causes the wife to shriek. The answer causes Mr. White to faint. The answer indicates that Herbert has doubts about the wish.

Q3. Fill in the blanks with correct form of the Verb given in bracket:
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Indians <u>are </u>known for their hospitality. They feel that guest is a person to be <u>honoured </u>and respected and <u>serving </u>him is a sacred duty. My mother <u>is</u> very particular about <u>keeping </u>things in their proper place, but the moment Mr. Narayan <u>arrived</u>, our guest room as well as our drawing room is in a total mess. He is very unsystematic and <u>throws </u>things here and there. As long as Mr. Narayan is in the house. our whole routine<u> is going to remain </u>upset.

Explanation:

Here, we need to pay attention to the tenses and voice of verbs.

The present simple tense (<em>are, throws</em>) is used to talk about habits, unchanging situations, general truths, and fixed arrangements.

The past simple tense (<em>arrived</em>) is used to talk about actions that took place and finished in the past.

The construction <em>is going to + infinitive</em><em> (is going to remain) </em>can be used for predictions based on something we can see or hear now.

Gerunds (<em>serving, keeping</em>) are nouns derived from verbs by adding -ing.

The passive voice (<em>to be honored</em>) is used when we want to emphasize the action and the object of a sentence rather than the subject.
