Answer:

The meaning of word 'compensation' is an act of making amendments, for instance with money, in return of a service.

Explanation:

'The Monkey's Paw' is a short story written by W. W. Jacobs. The story is about a magical monkey paw presented by White's guests to them. The story centers around the theme the consequences of trying to rule out fate.

In paragraph 93, the word 'compensation' means <u>an act of making amendment in return of a service provided</u>, sometimes these amendments are made with money.

The context clue that the author has left in the text for the readers to understand the meaning of the word is in the previous information provided in the same sentence.

'<em>They admit no liability at all, </em><u><em>but in consideration of your son’s services they wish to present you with a certain amount of money</em></u><em> as compensation.'</em>

Thus compensation, a sum of money, was presented to Mr and Mrs White in return of the service he provided to his company.
