Question

I NEED HELP!

Read these paragraphs from the story.

For some time I sat in silence. Then a cold shudder ran down my spine. I asked him where he had seen the name.

“Oh, I didn’t see it anywhere,” replied Mr. Atkinson. “I wanted some name, and I put down the first that came into my head. Why do you want to know?”

“It’s a strange coincidence, but it happens to be mine.”

What does James's interaction with Mr. Atkinson in this scene reveal about James?

a) James is unnerved to think that something abnormal has taken place.

b) James is surprised and is certain his name on the headstone is a random occurrence.

c) James is unsure of Mr. Atkinson's intent and feels wary of the man.

d) James is amused by the fact that his name is used on a sample headstone.

Answer 1

I think the answer would be C of B but I'm agreeing more with C . Sorry if it's wrong! (:

Answer 2

C) James is unsure of Mr. Atkinson's intent and feels wary of the man.

Step-by-step explanation:

As Mr. Atkinson reveals that his latest action had James involved as a mere coincidence, James cannot help but to be uncertain about the man. People fear what they cannot understand, and since James seems unable to explain this ocurrence, the presence of Mr. Atkinson and his intentions terrify him.
