Explanation:

Question 5:

Mr. White's statements suggest a fear and understanding of the monkey's paw's malevolent nature. His use of words like "foolish and wicked" indicates he knows it is dangerous.

Question 6:

In many stories involving supernatural or powerful objects like the monkey's paw, ignoring warnings and the wisdom of those with experience leads to bad outcomes, which aligns with the theme of ignoring wisdom causing terrible consequences.

Question 7:

Herbert's over - confident and dismissive attitude towards the warnings about the monkey's paw shows a lack of respect for the wisdom and experience of others, and this is reflected in his quote.

Answer:

1. He knows the monkey's paw is dangerous.
2. Ignoring the wisdom and experience of others can lead to terrible consequences.
3. Likely, said Herbert, with pretend 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."
