Question

Read the following line from Paragraph 12 in "The Open Window." "You may wonder why we keep that window wide open on an October afternoon," said the niece…. Which line provides evidence that Vera is testing the believability of her story before proceeding with her misdirection?

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.
