Question

1. which detail from page 179 implies that the creature is the murderer? rl.1

a. \his companions came up to assist him, and by the light of their lantern they found that he had fallen on
the body of a man, who was to all appearance dead.\
b. \their first supposition was that it was the corpse of some person who had been drowned and was
thrown on shore by the waves, but on examination they found that the clothes were not wet and even
that the body was not then cold.\
c. \it appeared to be a handsome young man, about five and twenty years of age.\
d. \he had apparently been strangled; for there was no sign of any violence, except the black mark of
fingers on his neck.\

Explanation:

• Option A only describes finding a body, no implication of the Creature as murderer.
• Option B is about initial supposition of a drowned person, no connection to the Creature.
• Option C is about the appearance of the body (age, looks), no hint of the Creature.
• Option D mentions "black mark of fingers on his neck" which implies strangulation (a form of murder) and since the Creature is a key element in the story (from Frankenstein context), this detail (strangulation mark) can imply the Creature (who has hands/fingers) as the murderer.

Answer:

D. "He had apparently been strangled; for there was no sign of any violence, except the black mark of fingers on his neck."
