Lavinia, the narrator's wife told these words to the ghost, Helen, who was standing near her husband. Helen of Troy was a very beautiful woman and this ghost was not at all beautiful, so in a sense Lavinia was relieved by her appearance.The ghost replied in a calm manner that she used to be 'Helen of Troy, New York'. Saying this she telescoped briskly.These words were spoken in the library of the narrator's house where he used to sit and work.                   

Introduction:

The statement mentioned is a question about who said a particular word. To analyze and answer this question, we need to understand the context and the individuals involved. Let's examine the options and their respective scenarios to determine who might have said the word in question.

Option (a): John to his wife

This option suggests that John said the word to his wife. However, without knowing the word itself or any additional context, it is difficult to determine whether this option is correct. The statement does not provide any further information to support or reject this possibility.

Option (b): Hallock to Laura

Similarly to option (a), option (b) lacks the necessary context to draw a definitive conclusion. We do not have any information about the word or the relationship between Hallock and Laura. Therefore, we cannot determine if this option is correct.

Option (c): John to Gladolia

Option (c) implies that John said the word to Gladolia. Once again, there is a lack of context and information about the word itself. Without these details, it is impossible to confirm whether this option is accurate.

Option (d): Laviniva to Ghost

Option (d) suggests that Laviniva said the word to a ghost. While this option provides a specific scenario, it still lacks context and information about the word itself. Without these details, we cannot determine if this option is the correct answer.

Conclusion:

Unfortunately, without additional information, it is impossible to determine who said the word in question. The statement does not provide any context, the word itself is not mentioned, and the relationships between the individuals are not clarified. As a result, we cannot identify which option is correct.

It is worth noting that the analysis provided above is based solely on the information provided in the question. If there were further details or cues, it would be easier to arrive at a more accurate conclusion.
