Read the excerpt from "The Lady Maid's Bell." But that wasn't the only queer thing in the house. The very next day I found out that Mrs. Brympton had no
nurse; and then asked Agnes about the woman I had seen in the passage the afternoon before. Agnes said she
had seen no one, and I saw that she thought was dreaming. To be sure, it was dusk when we went down the
passage, and she had excused herself for not bringing a light; but had seen the woman plain enough to know
her again if we should meet. I decided that she must have been a friend of the cook's, or of one of the other
women servants: perhaps she had come down from town for a night's visit, and the servants wanted it kept
secret. Some ladies are very stiff about having their servants' friends in the house overnight. At any rate, made
up my mind to ask no more questions.
Which statement describes a gothic element in this excerpt that reflects a social attitude of Wharton's time?
O The narrator feels inadequate when she reports seeing a supernatural being and nobody believes her.

O The narrator is dismissed by her superiors when she asks questions about an occurrence that may have been
supernatural.

The major was a little man with upturned mustaches. he had been in the war in libya and wore two wound-stripes. he said that if the thing went well he would see that i was decorated. i said i hoped it would go well but that he was too kind. i asked him if there was a big dugout where the drivers could stay and he sent a soldier to show me. i went with him and found the dugout, which was very good. the drivers were with it and i left them there. what effect does hemingway’s limited use of adjectives have? it slows down the narration by interrupting the action. it makes the few descriptive words he does use more vivid and forceful. it makes the narrator seem powerless and insincere. it prevents the readers from filling in the details with their own experiences.
