Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
1. **Question 1**:
   - **Option B**: The statement about fate and interference foreshadows negative consequences (grief) from using the monkey's paw.
   - **Option D**: The admonition to "wish for something sensible" implies that wishes can have unforeseen and perhaps bad outcomes.
2. **Question 2**:
   - After the wishes, the knocking (related to the second wish for the son to come back) and the context of the story lead Mr. White to realize the talisman's power.
3. **Question 3**:
   - "A quiet and deserted road" creates a somber (dark, gloomy) mood. "Quiet" and "deserted" evoke a sense of isolation and lack of life, which is characteristic of a somber atmosphere.
