Which four parts of this excerpt from W. W. Jacobs's "The Monkey's Paw"

Which four parts of this excerpt from W. W. Jacobs's "The Monkey's Paw" show that the White family doubts the major's story?(the sentences start with -) -"Hold it up in your right hand, and wish aloud," said the Sergeant-Major, "But I warn you of the consequences." -"Sounds like the 'Arabian Nights,'” said Mrs. White, as she rose and began to set the supper. "Don't you think you might wish for four pairs of hands for me." Her husband drew the talisman from his pocket, and all three burst into laughter as the Sergeant-Major, with a look of alarm on his face, caught him by the arm. -"If you must wish," he said gruffly, "Wish for something sensible." … -"If the tale about the monkey's paw is not more truthful than those he has been telling us," said Herbert, as the door closed behind their guest, just in time to catch the last train, "we shan't make much out of it." "Did you give him anything for it, father?" inquired Mrs. White, regarding her husband closely. "A trifle," said he, colouring slightly. "He didn't want it, but I made him take it. And he pressed me again to throw it away." -"Likely," said Herbert, with pretended horror. "Why, we're going to be rich, and famous and happy. Wish to be an emperor, father, to begin with; then you can't be henpecked." He darted round the table, pursued by the maligned Mrs. White armed with an antimacassar. -Mr. White took the paw from his pocket and eyed it dubiously. "I don't know what to wish for, and that's a fact," he said, slowly. "It seems to me I've got all I want."

The four parts of the above excerpt from W. W. Jacobs's "The Monkey's Paw" which shows that the White family doubts the Major's story are:

1.) "Sounds like the 'Arabian Nights,'” said Mrs. White, as she rose and began to set the supper. "Don't you think you might wish for four pairs of hands for me."

2.) "If the tale about the monkey's paw is not more truthful than those he has been telling us," said Herbert, as the door closed behind their guest, just in time to catch the last train, "we shan't make much out of it."

3.) "Likely," said Herbert, with pretended horror. "Why, we're going to be rich, and famous and happy. Wish to be an emperor, father, to begin with; then you can't be henpecked."

4.) Mr. White took the paw from his pocket and eyed it dubiously. "I don't know what to wish for, and that's a fact," he said, slowly. "It seems to me I've got all I want."

When the Major told the story about the Monkey's paw to the White Family they didn't trust the story. It was for them a tale which can never happen in real life. The conversation between Mr. and Mrs. White regarding the Monkey's paw had a humorous approach. Their son Herbert was also excited to test the reality of the paw and become rich by making a wish from it.

Question
Which type of martial union occurs between people of different social backgrounds
Solution 1

Answer:

The marital union that occurs between people of different social origins is called Mixed Marriage.

Explanation:

There are two types of mixed marriages: by religion or by nationality. Mixed marriages by religion are those in which one of the members of the couple believes and the other does not, or that each has faith in a belief. The mixed by nationality, is in our case, when the members were not born in the same country.

In the case of a mixed marriage by nationality the bureaucracy is a little larger. The board usually asks for witnesses to answer a series of questions, which are also made to the couple, to make sure that it is not a marriage for convenience. In this case, it is advisable to take photos of trips, to prove that there is a relationship.

For the engaged couple that one has faith and the other does not, they should ask for a dispensation to celebrate the mixed marriage where it is stated in writing that the education of the children will be of Catholic faith. Therefore, one of the two must be baptized.

Question
Read the excerpt from The Time Traveler’s Guide to Elizabethan England. In such circumstances, storage of food is most important. The principal rule is to have separate places for different types of commodity: dry things can be kept in a pantry with bread and dry linen; wet things are normally stored in the buttery. Wine and meat must be kept apart, and cellars should be avoided on account of their dampness. Meat should be seethed in summer to keep it fresh, then kept in a cool cellar, soaked in vinegar with juniper seeds and salt. Most yeomen will have vats and presses for making cheeses—a valuable source of protein in the long winter season. Similarly, most livestock owners have troughs for salting meat or allowing it to steep in brine. What is the author’s purpose in this excerpt?

How does the queen protect hamlet
Solution 1
Gertrude is fearful of what could happen to her son if the truth came out about Polonius’ death. For this reason, she calmly downplays the whole situation when she explained it to Claudius. She simply said that he yelled about there being a rat, then “in brainish apprehension, kill[ed] the unseen good old man,” (166) who would be Polonius. She could have chosen to not tell Claudius about the murder, but instead made the situation less suspicious seeming by explaining it right off the bat. 
The correct answer is:She blames it on his madness and the queen doesnt protect hamlet she  goes straight to Claudius to tell  how he killed Polonius

Solution 2
The answer is that she blames it on his madness.
