Read the first passage from "the tell-tale heart” that karishma read.
i had my head in, and was about to open the lantern, when my thumb slipped upon the tin fastening, and the old man sprang up in bed, crying out—"who's there? "
after reading the passage, karishma predicted that the narrator would get caught by the old man.
now read the second passage that karishma read.
i kept quite still and said nothing. for a whole hour i did not move a muscle, and in the meantime i did not hear him lie down. he was still sitting up in the bed listening; —just as i have done, night after night, hearkening to the death watches in the wall.
the most logical revision for karishma to make to her prediction is that the narrator
a. gives up his plan to murder the old man.
b. comes back another night to murder the old man.
c. continues with his plan to murder the old man.
d. eventually admits his presence to the old man.

C. continues with his plan to murder the old man.

Based on the first excerpt, it was logical for Karishma to assume that the narrator was going to get caught by the old man, as the old man had noticed the narrator going into his room. However, based on the new information that the second passage provides, Karishma should now conclude that the narrator will continue with his plan to murder the old man. This is because even though the old man woke up, the narrator did not make a noise, did not leave, and did not appear to change his mind.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
