Answer 1

C. "I hope you don't mind the open window, 'said Mrs. Sappleton briskly; 'my husband and brothers will be home directly from shooting, and they always come in this way" (Paragraph 18)

Step-by-step explanation:

In paragraph 14 it starts to talk about the window and the reasoning for it included her brothers and husband. "Out through that window, three years ago to a day, her husband and her two young brothers went off for their day's shooting. They never came back. " (Paragraph 14). Correct me if I'm wrong though.
