b- Theo is concerned that Mrs. Montague and Arthur will not get to eat.
Explanation:
At ten in the morning, Mrs. Dudley, the hill house keeper, usually clears the table, and there will not be breakfast again for Mrs. Montague and Arthur. This is the reason Theodora asks Eleanor if the visitors, Mrs. Montague and Arthur, are aware of Mrs. Dudley's schedule. Immediately after asking this question, Mrs. Montague and Arthur appear to have their breakfast with them.
Shirley Jackson's 1959 horror novel, "The Haunting of Hill House," explored the chances that Dr. John Montague, a psychic researcher and doctor of philosophy, had to discover paranormal phenomena. The doctor had rented the hill house because it was believed to be haunted by ghosts in his singular pursuit of studying supernatural manifestations.
