Answer:

D. To make social calls.

Explanation:

The short story "The Open Window" by Saki a.k.a. H. H. Munro is about the main character Framton Nuttel and his retreat to the countryside. The story is a hilarious yet horrific experience for Nuttel who became the latest victim of the playful niece, Vera's love of storytelling.

Framton Nuttel has been advised by his doctor to not exert himself mentally. In a bid to cure his nervous condition, he had gone to the countryside to relax and calm himself. And to make himself acquainted with the neighbors of that retreat, his sister had written letters of introduction to help him in his social calls.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Hello. You did not enter the line of text to which this question refers. However, when researching your question, I was able to find a question like yours and realized that the line of text you forgot to present was “Generals always fight the last war”.

Answer and Explanation:

The line “Generals always fight the last war” means the existence of a faith that successful attitudes in the past will be equally successful in the present, even though the present and the past are completely different realities. The Maginot line serves as an example for this sentence because it achieved its goal of protecting France from German invasion during the First World War. Because of this success, it was used again as a strategy in the second world war. However, the two wars were very different, as were the German strategies, which meant that the Maginot line was no longer able to provide any protection to France, which was invaded by Germany.

emmasim [6.3K]

"I would explain to him that while collecting coins is his hobby, I have other hobbies of my own which includes hiking and bike racing.

I do not find the collection of coins as a fun thing to do in my pass time as it does not pump my adrenaline the way bike racing and hiking does.

I am sure that my father would understand my decision to follow what makes me happy, the same way he does what makes him happy, which is collecting coins."

The above is the template that you can use to write your essay to make your argument as to why you cannot do what your father wants you to do.
