Answer:

Based on the context of this excerpt from W. W. Jacobs's "The Monkey's Paw," the word placidly means "appearing to be calm and relaxed"

Explanation:

"The Monkey's Paw" by W. W. Jacobs is a story that has constant situations of suspense and excitement, but in this specific excerpt we can see the description of a very peaceful scene, the atmosphere, and the mood are relaxed and do not have any expression of hectic behavior, the vocabulary used also reflect the peace from the characters.

After reading the flashback about the police coming to the Coolidge house, do you think the police were fair?Why or why not?
Liula [17]

Answer:

The police were not fair.

Explanation:

Edward Coolidge was being accused of murdering a 14-year-old girl. He was the last person the girl was seen with and with whom she kept in touch before being found dead, stabbed and with gunshot marks on her body. How Coolidge was the prime suspect in the crime.

The police needed to go to Coolidge's house to search and seize his car and other objects that could be used in the investigation, for that, the police needed a search and seizure warrant. Who signed the search and seizure mandate was the Attorney General of the case and for that reason, the arrival of the police at Coolidge's home was not fair and violates the fourth institutional amendment.

This is because, for a term to be valid, it must be issued by someone who holds an impartial position in the case investigated.
