Question 3

In "The Open Window", Mr. Nuttel is nervous, and Vera's fabricated story about the "ghosts" of her aunt's husband and brothers creates internal conflict for him as he struggles with his nerves and the perceived supernatural event. Vera has no internal conflict about lying, Mrs. Sappleton and Mr. Nuttel have no major external conflict, and Mrs. Sappleton and her husband have no external conflict (he's presumed dead in Vera's story but is actually alive, but that's not a conflict between them).

"The Open Window" is set in a rural, rustic countryside. The story's setting involves a house in the country with open windows overlooking a lawn and woods, not a forest during hunting season (the hunting is a ruse), a large city, or an old shack.

Answer:

A. Mr. Nuttel's internal conflict created by his nerves and Vera's story
