Answer:

<em>Framton believes that Mrs. Stapleton's husband and family are dead, while Mrs. Stapleton speaks as though they are alive; this builds tension.</em>

Explanation:

<em>The Open Window</em> is a short story written by H.H. Munro (Saki) which introduces us to Framton Nuttel. He just arrived in a new town. Framton`s sister recommended him some of her old acquaintances, one of them was family Stapleton. His first encounter is with Vera, Mrs. Stapleton`s 15-year-old niece, who told him about a family tragedy -  Ms. Stapleton and two brothers drowned in a bog three years ago. That`s why the window is always open, because Mrs. Stapleton, out of desperation, waits for them to come back. Mrs. Stapleton arrives, and she keeps talking about the three men that will soon get back from the hunt. Suddenly, that really happens, and Framton is terrified as he is under the impression that they are ghosts, as he believed in Vera`s story. So, he runs off.

From the given answers, the second one fully follows the story.

R.W. possesses advanced geographic knowledge as a result of his explorations, but he has sacrificed personal happiness to gain that knowledge.

Explanation:

RW is not entirely the focus of the novel and in fact is only a mouthpiece for the book for a small amount of the time.

The book is about Frankenstein and the monster but the theme of R W and his exploration of science counter balances quite frankly with that of Frankenstein.

Thus we can see how he has sacrificed personal happiness to gain that knowledge.

The terrible cost one pays for the sake of science is seen and compared to what is achieved for what is put up for the part and this comparison is rather dreary for him.

What is the author’s attitude toward space research? Cite evidence to support your answer.? Why Exploring the Ocean is Mankind's
Sati [7]

Answer: The author believes that space research, while important, has diverted attention and resources away from exploring the oceans (the ocean should have a chance to be explored). As evidence, he says that early exploration of the ocean's depths was “quickly overshadowed by the race to the moon.” (lines 13–14).  In the text, it states " In July 2011, the space shuttle program that had promised to revolutionize space travel by making it (relatively) affordable and accessible came to an end after 30 years". This quote shows that the ocean should be explored more.
