The Monkey's Paw by W. W. Jacobs from The Monkey's Paw by Ricky Lewis Jr. How does the music change as Mrs . White begs Mr.White to use the paw to bring their son back? It becomes slower and fades out. It becomes louder and more foreboding. It begins to mimic the nature sounds. It portrays a happy mood while the characters are in despair.

The correct answer is: **It becomes louder and more foreboding.**<br /><br />As Mrs. White pleads with Mr. White to wish Herbert back to life, the music reflects the rising tension and the sense of impending doom. It would likely increase in volume, become more dissonant, and use darker instrumentation to create a foreboding atmosphere.<br />
