Question

A He began to talk, the little family circle regarding with eager interest this visitor from distant parts, as he squared his broad shoulders in the chair and spoke of wild scenes and doughty deeds, of wars and plagues and strange peoples. (paragraph 13)

B "Well, it's just a bit of what you might call magic, perhaps," said the sergeant- major off-handedly. (paragraph 21)

C "The first man had his three wishes. Yes," was the reply; "I don't know what the first two were, but the third was for death. That's how I got the paw." (paragraph 33)

D "If the tale about the monkey's paw is not more truthful than those he has been telling us," said Herbert, as the door closed behind their guest, just in time for him to catch the last train, "we shan't make much out of it" (paragraph 49)

Answer 1

The quote that best illustrates the sentence "the danger of the unknown as well as the known" is:

C "The first man had his three wishes. Yes," was the reply; "I don't know what the first two were, but the third was for death. That's how I got the paw." (paragraph 33)

This quote highlights the theme of the unknown consequences of one's desires and the danger associated with making wishes, illustrating how the characters are unaware of the peril that lies ahead with the monkey's paw. The mention of the third wish being for death encapsulates the unintended and often terrifying consequences of meddling with fate.
