Foreshadowing in "The Monkey's Paw"

Question 4 • (AG Q3) ELA 8: 25-26 (SWilliams)

Which is not an accurate hint at the future plot twists in "The Monkey's Paw”?

Answer
A
Mr. White sees a fatal mistake in chess after it is too late.
B
Mr. Morris tells Mr. White he is better off where he is than going to India.
C
Herbert darts around the table, pursued by his mother.
D
Mr. White says it is foolish and wicked to wish Herbert back to life.

Explanation

The chess mistake, Morris’s warning about going to India, and Mr. White’s fear of wishing Herbert back all point toward the danger and tragic consequences of the paw’s wishes. Herbert darting around the table while his mother chases him is a playful moment, not a meaningful hint about the later plot twists. So C is the choice that is not an accurate hint.
