Final answer:
In the dialogue from "The Monkey's Paw," Mrs. White is keen on using the remaining wishes while Mr. White is reluctant, leading to the correct answer D, where Mr. White does not want to make more wishes, but Mrs. White is eager to do so.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the excerpt from "The Monkey's Paw" by W. W. Jacobs, the conversation between Mr. and Mrs. White reveals their conflicting attitudes towards the monkey's paw and the remaining wishes it can grant. Mrs. White, having experienced a sudden epiphany, is excited and anxious about using the two remaining wishes, hoping to undo past events.
On the other hand, Mr. White is fearful and reluctant, as their first wish led to disastrous consequences. He fiercely questions whether the first wish was not enough to deter them from making more wishes. It is clear from this dialogue that Mr. White does not share his wife's enthusiasm for more wishes and perceives the potential for further calamity.
The correct answer, based on the dialogue and the characters' reactions, is D. Mr. White does not want to make another wish, but his wife is excited and anxious to make another wish.
