Bluehawk answered |
Here, the first 3 words, flinched, jerked and recoiled have the same meaning, that is to suddenly move out of shock, or precisely, to make a quick, nervous movement as an instinctive reaction to fear, pain, or surprise.(from Google)
Whereas, pointed means direct someone's attention towards something by extending one's finger.
Which doesn't suit with "startled" since the meaning of startled is also the same as the meaning of the first three words and "pointed" is not much of a suitable meaning.
Hope you've got your answer.

Radha Iyer answered |
Rising of the Chair does not produce moaning sound. Troubled Neighbours do not represent Witchcraft. Stranger may not be followed by Haunted Spirits. But, pushed and locked out is enough to make someone hysterical.

Hysterics here refers to fits in a negative or terrified sense. The same is reflected in the option (C) where the Old Man was in frenzy upon seeing the blood.

The scientist, in a fit of anger, revealed his true identity by swiftly removing bandages, whiskers, spectacles, and even his nose, startling onlookers by presenting himself as a headless figure. This dramatic transformation showcased his extraordinary abilities that left those present astonished.

In the clergyman's study, a peculiar incident unfolded where despite hearing noises and finding the desk open with money missing, there was no visible presence of anyone in the room. This event puzzled the clergyman and his wife, leading to a day filled with astonishment and confusion. The disappearance of the thief despite clear evidence of intrusion adds an intriguing layer to the story, leaving the clergyman bewildered.

That time of season in London was very cold. So, it was not practical to find a Man walking barefoot on such Cold Streets or Floor.

In the clergyman's study, an unusual incident occurred where money was taken from the clergyman's desk without any visible presence of an intruder. The clergyman and his wife searched the room but found no one, yet the desk had been opened and money was missing. This mysterious event puzzled the clergyman throughout the day. The disappearance of the money without any apparent culprit sets the stage for a perplexing and intriguing scenario.

Nk Classes answered |
Upon opening the door to his study and finding it apparently empty despite the theft of housekeeping money, the clergyman reacted with disbelief and bewilderment. He and his wife meticulously searched the room, checking under the desk, behind curtains, and even up the chimney, yet found no trace of the intruder. The clergyman's persistent search and incredulity at the situation highlight his determination to unravel the mystery behind the disappearing thief.

Kamna Science Academy answered |
The landlord and his wife were surprised to find the scientist's usually locked door wide open, a departure from its typical secured state. This unusual occurrence prompted them to investigate further, leading to the discovery of cold bedclothes and scattered clothes and bandages in the room, indicating the scientist had been awake but was nowhere to be found. The open door hinted at a break from the scientist's usual behavior, adding a mysterious twist to the story.
