Answer: It means there is an end to everything, nothing is permanent and nothing is forever.
Explanation: Every single living organism has a beginning and an end, it's only a matter of time. Just like the day we were born; we will surely die one day and every single riches and fortunes we have saved up becomes meaningless to us (the dead don't use money), Only our kind heartedness, our charity and everything good we did during our lifetime becomes valuable to us, all other things are vanity and meaningless.

A fine crash from the piano greeted his words, broken by a frightened cry from the old man.
See the explanation below to understand the examples of foreshadowing above.
Explanation:
W. W. Jacobs was an English author of short stories born in 1863. In the suspenseful "The Monkey's Paw," he uses elements of horror and fantasy. In the story, a mummified paw brought from India has the power to grant three wishes to three different people. However, the paw's purpose is to show people cannot rule their own lives.
J<u>acobs uses foreshadowing at several moments in the story. </u>Foreshadowing is a technique in which information is revealed that predicts or indicates what will happen later on in the story. The two examples given above foreshadow that using the paw brings nothing good.<u> The first example is a line spoken by the Sergeant who brought the paw with him. When he says the first man to use the paw used his third wish to die, he is giving us information that helps us predict the bad things to come.</u>
<u>The second example happens when Mr. White, who is now in possession of the paw, makes his first wish. The piano that is being played by his son emits a loud noise, a crash, once he makes his wish. As a matter of fact, this reveals his son will die for his wish to come true.</u>
Answer:
I believe the best answer to be letter D) Therefore, Wilson's argument that technology makes it more difficult for students to concentrate is thoroughly
researched and provides ample supporting evidence.
Explanation:
We can choose the option above through simple elimination. Option A is not a conclusion at all; it seems to present the final argument of the article, which means it's still part of the development. Letter B presents a "weak" personal opinion which could be a conclusion if it weren't based on personal experience instead of on the arguments offered in the article. Letter C looks more like a thesis statement than a conclusion, in the sense that is presents the topic of the article but not what can be concluded from it. Therefore, letter D seems to be the best option. That is the conclusion of a person who read the article, their evaluation of it: that it was well researched and filled with solid evidence.
