In the excerpt from "The Open Window," Nuttel assumes that nothing too tragic could happen in this setting. This assumption reflects his belief that rural or country areas are often peaceful and free from serious misfortunes. His perspective is somewhat naive, and as the story unfolds, he is confronted with the unexpected and ironic turn of events. Therefore, the correct answer is: He assumes nothing too tragic could happen here.
