Answer and Explanation:

1. Vera tells Mr. Nuttel the scary story, just for fun. She realized how much control she has over people when she lies and as a way to distract herself from her monotonous routine, she decided to lie compulsively and as discreetly as possible to see people's reactions and have fun at their expense.

2. It was wrong to deceive Mr. Nuttel, primarily because we should not use people for our entertainment, moreover, Mr. Nuttel did not have a nervous disorder that was aggravated by Vera's behavior and this type of disturbance is very agonizing and harmful to someone.

And it is thought abroad that ’twixt my sheets

But I, for mere suspicion in that kind,

Will do as if for surety. He holds me well.

The better shall my purpose work on him.

Cassio’s a proper man. Let me see now,

That’s how I always do it, getting money from fools. I’d be wasting my skills dealing with an idiot like that if I couldn’t get something useful out of him.
