This question seems to be incomplete. However, there´s enough information to find the right answer.

Answer:

In "The Monkey's Paw," By W.W. Jacobs, fate is out of our control, and those who dare to interfere with fate shall face horrible consequences. The monkey's paw that the White family gets from  Sergeant-Major grants wishes, but brings unexpected and horrible consequences as well. For example, Mr. White is granted his wish for money, but money comes as a result of his son´s death.

Explanation:

The same theme is explored in the movie PI (1998), directed by Darren Aronofsky. Max, a troubled but intelligent mathematician discovers a formula that predicts the patterns of the world, meaning that our entire existence is already determined by those patterns, so free will can only be an illusion.

The Greek tragedy "Oedipus Rex," by Sophocles, also explores the theme of Fate vs, free-will. An oracle predicts Oedipus will kill his father and marry his mother. The actions of his family to avoid such a destiny end up creating the circumstances that lead to the prediction becoming real.

Which statement about novels is true?
LenKa [72]

The correct answer is D. They use narrative techniques to reveal the human experience in a complex and multifaceted way.


A is incorrect because that refers to drama and plays, rather than novels. B is incorrect because this refers to poetry, not prose. C is incorrect because not all novels have to be organized and logical. Therefore, the correct answer is D - novels tend to explore their characters in many ways so as to depict realism from the actual world.
