Answer:
The correct answer is option C. It demonstrates Mr. White's unhappiness with his current lot in life.
Explanation:
This question refers to the story "The Monkey's Paw". In these lines we can see the unhappiness that Mr White feels with his life.
So much so that he accepts the paw from the sergeant just to see if he can improve his life and that of his family a bit. Which we know did not work since everything ended in a tragedy because of that paw.
