Answer:
B. To undo his wish to bring his son back to life.
Explanation:
The Monkey's Paw by W. W. Jacobs is a short story that tells of how a family acquired a 'magical' monkey's paw from India that can make their three wishes come true. This story deals with the themes of death, faith, supernatural belief, and the issue of an Oriental artifact.
Mr. White had acquired the monkey's paw from a friend of his who told them about the special spell it was put on by a fakir in India. An with this paw, they had their two wishes granted (first was to get two hundred pounds and the second was to wish their son would come back alive), though at the cost of their son's life. The third wish was still left when they heard a scraping sound coming from the front door. It was their dead son at which the old man got frantic about wishing his final wish. And just in time before the door was opened, he made his final wish which stopped all the commotion at the door and the street was quiet. So, his final wish must have been to wish that he had not wished for his son's return from the dead and to undo the second wish.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
Based on the selection, the author most likely believes that ordinary citizens — A must make great sacrifices in their personal lives so that others can eat. B have a responsibility to ensure that everyone in society has enough to eat. C do not care about people who go hungry as long as they themselves eat well. D should begin a movement to educate people about the importance of eating well.

Had he come from a fancy party the night before he died? But then why would he have taken off his tuxedo without hanging it up? Maybe it needed to be cleaned? But I didn't remember a fancy party. I remembered him tucking me in.... How does the narration affect the story in this excerpt?
This question is missing the options. I've found them online:
[...] How does the narration affect the story in this excerpt?
A. Oskar’s memories introduce the use of symbolism.
B. Oskar’s slang characterizes him as relaxed and casual.
C. Oskar’s attempts to recall the events build suspense.
D. Oskar’s rapid questioning foreshadows his panic.
Answer:
The way the narration affects the story in the excerpt is:
C. Oskar’s attempts to recall the events build suspense.
Explanation:
This excerpt belongs to the novel "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close", by Jonathan Safran Foer. The narrator is Oskar, whose father was killed in the September 11 attacks. Notice that in this particular excerpt, the author has chosen to build suspense through Oskar's narration. He is attempting to recall something, but is unable to, leaving readers with the same doubts as him. We have no answer as to why his father's tuxedo was placed in such a strange place and manner. But since Oskar cannot recall what happened, we too cannot know.

ow do the underlined words and phrases in the passage create meaning? They explain the porter's anxiety at meeting a well-known man. They set up a threatening conflict between Sindbad and the porter. They describe the layout of the dining hall and the porter's location in it. They demonstrate Sindbad's respectability and his generosity toward the porter.
This question is incomplete because the passage is missing; here is the complete question:
Read the passage from "The Seven Voyages of Sindbad the Sailor.”
[The porter] followed the servant into a vast room, where a great company was seated round a table covered with all sorts of delicacies. In the place of honor sat a tall, grave man, whose long white beard gave him a venerable air. Behind his chair stood a crowd of attendants eager to minister to his wants. This was the famous Sindbad himself. The porter, more than ever alarmed at the sight of so much magnificence, tremblingly saluted the noble company. Sindbad, making a sign to him to approach, caused him to be seated at his right hand, and himself heaped choice morsels upon his plate, and poured out for him a draught of excellent wine, and presently, when the banquet drew to a close, spoke to him familiarly, asking his name and occupation.
How do the underlined words and phrases in the passage create meaning? A. They explain the porter's anxiety at meeting a well-known man.
B. They set up a threatening conflict between Sindbad and the porter.
C. They describe the layout of the dining hall and the porter's location in it.
D. They demonstrate Sindbad's respectability and his generosity toward the porter.
The answer to this question is D. They demonstrate Sindbad's respectability and his generosity toward the porter.
Explanation:
In the passage, the narrator describes a meeting between the porter and Sindbad who is a respectable man. The idea of respectability is emphasized by the underlined sections such as "a tall, grave man, whose long white beard gave him a venerable air" that shows this man is venerable, and therefore respectable or "This was the famous Sindbad himself" because the word famous emphasizes this quality. Additionally, underlined sections such as "heaped choice morsels upon his plate" or "spoke to him familiarly" show Sindbad is generous with the porter because he does not mind sharing his food and benefits with the porter and is kind when he speaks to him.

Answer:
Some of the most expensive features in a car are:
Oversized wheels and Tires have become more and more common, particularly among luxury buyers.
Summer Tires, which despite being useful for specific driving conditions, all-season tires are good enough.
Four-Wheel Drives, despite being useful for specific driving conditions, require expensive repairs.
Performance Components, such as lower gas mileage, the maintenance schedule required, the cost of repairs
Built-In Navigation Systems are very expensive, and become obsolete rather quickly, in addition to being replaceable with a portable device
Explanation:
Camera- and Sensor-Based Systems add safety and convenience, although they may require expensive repairs when located near the bumpers. This is the one I consider the most important because it provides better security when driving, and the possibility of repairs can be avoided by placing the cameras inside so they don´t brake.

Thanks in advance
Answer:
Check below for the explanation
Explanation:
Life without plan is possible and plausibleLife without plan is possible and plausible because the destiny of man lies in the hands of the almighty. Man can do little or nothing in shaping his own life and destiny since a superior force has already pre-planned it. We live our lives like a script that has already been written, whether or not it is planned does not determine our ending or how best it is lived. Therefore, it is possible to live our lives the way we live it without necessarily putting a plan in place.
