Question

1.1.5 quiz: the monkeys paw by w. w. jacobs
question 3 of 5
which adjective best describes mr. whites character?
a. wise
b. reckless
c. responsible
d. unkind

Explanation:

In "The Monkey's Paw", Mr. White makes a wish on the monkey's paw without fully considering the consequences, showing a lack of caution. "Reckless" means acting without thinking about the risks, which fits his decision - making. "Wise" would imply good judgment (he doesn't show this), "Responsible" would mean acting with care for outcomes (he doesn't), and "Unkind" doesn't relate to his main character trait shown in the paw - related actions.

Answer:

B. Reckless
