Read the excerpt from paragraph 5. I have no burglar bars, no gun under the pillow, but I have the same fears
as people who do take these precautions, and my windowpanes are thin as
rime, could shatter like a wineglass.
What is the author's purpose in including these details in the subplot?

To show that the narrator is much braver than the characters in her
story

To describe the way people behave in real life, as opposed to in
stories

To explain why the narrator is more fearful than the characters in
her story

To show that the narrator shares the fears of the characters in her
story
