Question

which sentence best explains why readers are fooled along with framton? *
a. readers know vera is lying from the start.
b. readers only know what framton knows.
c. readers believe ghost stories are real.
d. readers trust mrs. sappleton completely.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: If readers knew Vera was lying from the start, they wouldn't be fooled, so this is incorrect.
• Option B: In the story (likely "The Open Window"), the narrative is limited to what Framton knows. So readers, like Framton, only have his perspective, leading them to be fooled. This makes sense.
• Option C: Not all readers believe ghost stories are real, and this isn't the main reason for being fooled here.
• Option D: There's no indication readers trust Mrs. Sappleton completely, and this doesn't explain the shared deception with Framton.

Answer:

B. Readers only know what Framton knows.
