Question

Answer 1

Answer:

A. because he is startled by the tapping sounds he hears while staying in the oak-paneled bed.

• However, instead of touching a branch, his hand unexpectedly grabs a cold, ghostly hand. This moment leads to his terrifying encounter with the spirit of Catherine Linton, who pleads to be let inside, saying, "Let me in—let me in!" Lockwood, horrified, tries to free himself from the ghost's grip by rubbing her wrist on the broken glass of the window until the hand releases him.
