Question

c. he sees they are carrying guns
d. he is angry at the niece
this is a required question

Explanation:

In the story "The Open Window", Framton is told by the niece a fabricated story about the hunters (her uncles) being dead and returning as ghosts. When he sees the hunters, he believes they are ghosts, causing him to run away. Option B is incorrect as the sister's warning is about social interactions, not related to the hunters. Option C: seeing guns doesn't make him run; the ghostly context is key. Option D: anger at the niece isn't the reason for running from the hunters.

Answer:

A. He believes they are ghosts
