Answer:

The Pigeon Point Light was named for the clipper ship Carrier Pigeon, which sank off the nearby point of land in 1853. After three more ships were lost in the same area, Congress approved construction of a lighthouse at Pigeon Point, at the cost of $90,000 (which would be well over $2 million today).

Damm [24]

Answer: Second Option

Explanation: He is horrified, but she is excited.

I've read this short story before in school and saw it performed at a play. After Mr and Mrs White's son dies, they use the Monkey paw to wish him back to life. But their son (Hilbert) is something dark and unnatural and is not the son they raised. But Mrs White is excited to see Hilbert no matter what he comes back as while Mr White is horrified and knows that whatever is behind that door, will not hug them with open arms.
