Which quote from the story “The Open Window” marks a suspenseful and humorous point in the story? “In the deepening twilight three figures were walking across the lawn toward the window.” “[The niece] rattles on cheerfully about the shooting and the scarcity of birds, and the prospects for duck in the winter.” “[Nuttel] was conscious that his hostess was giving him only a fragment of her attention.”

Respuesta :

Answer: I would say “In the deepening twilight three figures were walking across the lawn toward the window.”

Explanation: It is suspenseful because the main character thinks they are ghosts, however, it is humerus in that this is merely a prank.

(Love this story BTW)

Answer:

B). “[The niece] rattles on cheerfully about the shooting and the scarcity of birds, and the prospects for duck in the winter.”

Explanation:

The quote from the short story “The Open Window” by Hector Hugh Munro or Saki(pseudonym) that marks a suspenseful and humorous point in the story is displayed in option B as mentioned above. Rattling 'cheerfully about shooting' adds a humorous tone while the scarcity of birds and prospects for duck proposes a suspenseful and serious dimension to the plot that keeps the interest of the readers intact until the end. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
