Read these sentences from “The Open Window.” "I expect it was the spaniel," said the niece calmly; "he told me he had a horror o

f dogs. He was once hunted into a cemetery somewhere on the banks of the Ganges by a pack of pariah dogs, and had to spend the night in a newly dug grave with the creatures snarling and grinning and foaming just above him. Enough to make anyone lose their nerve." Romance at short notice was her speciality.

A“'...on the banks of the Ganges...'” B “'...cemetery somewhere...'” C“'I expect it was the spaniel...'” D “'...he had a horror of dogs...'”

Answer:

C. “'I expect it was the spaniel...'”

Explanation:

This is the phrase which contributes most to the humour in the story. In this story, the niece is talking about the reason for a person to "lose his nerve." The first words she utters blame a cocker spaniel for this insanity. This is a humorous idea, as the reason seems to be unusual and trivial, and unlikely to have such an effect on a person.

In at least one hundred words, explain the basic structure of 1001 Nights.
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

i hope these are hepful

Explanation:

It is a series of 1,000 poems, each of which tells a story. If you put together the first line of each of the poems, you get a final story, which is #1001, hence the title. Each of the poems was written by a different Persian poet in the 15th through 18th centuries and later translated into English. Most of them deal with legends from the Mongol Empire that were told by troubadours along the trade routes of Bucharest and Kamchatka

It is a group of stories which are interrupted by "Scherazade saw morning and discreetly fell silent"  The following night the story telling begins right after the interruption.  The interruptions are based on the length of the story and during some nights 2 or 3 short stories are told.  Some of these stories are organized into groups such as "Garden of verses". Many of the stories take place during the time of Haroun, Caliph of Bagdad. It is on 1001th night that all the stories have been told. .
