Correct Answer - Option 3 : 3 1 4 2

The correct answer is 3 1 4 2.

  • Mrs. Sappleton is from the short story "The open window" written by Saki.
    • Vera’s aunt and the lady of the Sappleton home. Though she appears to be somewhat aware of Vera’s penchant for storytelling, Mrs. Sappleton nevertheless fails to detect the prank her niece has pulled on the unsuspecting Mr. Nuttel. Mrs. Sappleton nearly arrives at the truth of the matter, commenting after Mr. Nuttel’s hasty exit that her guest looked as though he’d seen a ghost.
  • Morissot is from the moral story "The two friends" by Guy De Maupassant.
    • Morissot is a watchmaker and Sauvage is a draper or tailor, and they used to fish together regularly. These two are the main characters or participants in the story. They get a password from the colonel and leave the city to go fishing but are captured by Germans and killed when they refuse to give up their password.
  • Djinn is from the story "How the camel got its hump" by Rudyard Kipling.
    • The Djinn then uses his magic to give the Camel a hump (humph) on his back.
  • Old Behrman is from the short story "The last leaf" by O' Henry.
    • Old Behrman is a sixty-year-old painter, a failure in art, but still hopes to paint. He is an alcoholic and earns money by posing as a model for artists in the neighborhood. In the end, he catches pneumonia and dies—but Sue remarks that he had finally painted his masterpiece. This is because he goes outside on a cold and rainy night to paint a realistic-looking leaf onto the wall outside Sue's window so that she will think one last leaf has miraculously survived the storm.
  • Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
