Question

Character is what you are in the dark. " –Dwight Lyman Moody"I suppose all old soldiers are the same," said Mrs. White. "The idea of our listening to such nonsense! How could wishes be granted in these days? And if they could, how could two hundred pounds hurt you, father?" "Might drop on his head from the sky," said the frivolous Herbert. "Morris said the things happened so naturally," said his father, "that you might if you so wished attribute it to coincidence. " "Well, don't break into the money before I come back," said Herbert as he rose from the table. "I'm afraid it'll turn you into a mean, avaricious man, and we shall have to disown you. " —"The Monkey's Paw," W. W. Jacobs What event does this passage foreshadow?a. the white family winning two hundred pounds in the lottery b. the family getting their money at a great cost c. mr. white becoming a greedy man d. the family getting all of their wishes answered at the same time

Answer 1

This passage foreshadows the family getting their money at a great cost. The mention of the two hundred pounds being able to hurt Mr. White, and Herbert's comment about the money turning him into a "mean, avaricious man," both suggest that there may be negative consequences associated with the family's acquisition of the money. Additionally, the story's title, "The Monkey's Paw," also suggests that there may be a sinister or dangerous element to the family's wishes coming true
