Question

question 2 of 5
what events from \the black cat\ seem to prove the wifes superstition about cats to be correct?
a. the narrator calmly decides to hide the body of his wife inside the wall of the cellar.
b. the narrator starts drinking heavily and becomes abusive, scaring both his wife and his pet.
c. the wife brings home new animals for the narrator because she knows he is an animal lover.
d. the impression of a cat with a rope around its neck appears on a wall of the burned - out house.

Explanation:

In "The Black Cat", the wife has a superstition about cats. The appearance of the cat's impression (with a rope around its neck) on the burned - out house wall seems to give a supernatural or eerie confirmation. This event is more directly related to a cat - related "supernatural" sign compared to the other options. Option A is about hiding the wife's body (not cat - superstition related). Option B is about the narrator's behavior (not directly proving the wife's cat superstition). Option C is the wife's action (bringing animals) but not a sign that "proves" the superstition.

Answer:

D. The impression of a cat with a rope around its neck appears on a wall of the burned - out house.
