Do the essay's your self
To determine which option best illustrates the extreme nature of Phoebe's suspicion of others, we need to analyze each option and choose the one that portrays the most extreme level of suspicion.
A. She calls the strange young man at her door a lunatic: This statement shows Phoebe labeling someone as a "lunatic," which suggests suspicion or distrust, but it does not necessarily represent an extreme level of suspicion.
B. She does not want Mrs. Partridge to touch her face: This statement implies that Phoebe is cautious about physical contact with others, possibly due to suspicion, but it is not a particularly extreme example.
C. She does not offer to help Mrs. Cadaver with her groceries: This option does not directly imply suspicion or distrust but rather indicates a lack of willingness to provide assistance.
D. She predicts that Mr. Birkway helped hide Mr. Cadaver's body under the rhododendron bush: This option suggests that Phoebe believes Mr. Birkway was involved in a serious crime, displaying an extreme level of suspicion.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. She predicts that Mr. Birkway helped hide Mr. Cadaver's body under the rhododendron bush.
