Which detail from the selection had to be true for Vera, the niece, to make Framton believe he saw ghosts?
A Mrs Sappleton’s husband and brothers really were out hunting.
B It was warm for the time of year.
C The house seemed like a restful place.
D Mrs Sappleton yawned when Framton talked about his health.
The correct answer is: A Mrs. Sappleton’s husband and brothers really were out hunting.
Explanation: For Vera to convince Framton that he saw ghosts, it was crucial that the story she concocted about Mrs. Sappleton’s husband and brothers being out hunting was true. If they were really out hunting and had not returned, it made her tale of them being dead and haunting the house seem plausible to Framton. The other details, while relevant to the atmosphere of the scene, do not fundamentally support the belief that ghosts exist in the story.
