Question

Why is it significant that Vera asks Framton, “Then you know practically nothing about my aunt?”

A. She wants to make sure Framton knows her aunt so he'll feel comfortable.

B. She is surprised that Framton had not heard of her aunt's tragedy.

C. She cannot spin her tragic tale if Framton knows her aunt well.

D. She tries to engage him in conversation to help him practice with strangers.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. She cannot spin the tragic tale if Framton knows her aunt well.

We know this because the question is followed by Vera saying, "her great tragedy happened just three years ago." She then tells him about the tragedy, and why the window is left open.
