Explanation:

1. In the first question, Herbert's statement implies he doesn't believe the story of the monkey's paw is true and thus thinks it won't work. His tone is dismissive.
2. For the second question, the White - family's first response is shown as being unconcerned about the story and doubting its truth, as seen from Herbert's words.
3. In the third question, the warning "I threw it on the fire. If you keep it, don't blame me for what happens. Pitch it on the fire again like a sensible man" foreshadows that keeping the monkey's paw will lead to negative consequences, which is related to the end of the story.
