Explanation:

Literary non-fiction refers to a genre of literature that uses narrative techniques such as descriptive details, imaginary or alliteration that create a literary style based on facts or reality (non-fiction). Literary non-fiction includes works like the biography, chronicle or personal essays that are based on reality but that include language and style similar to fiction works. Additionally, this genre differs from other non-fictional texts such as articles or reports as literary non-fiction uses elements of narrative and is aimed at entertaining rather than just telling or reporting facts through formal language as in the case of reports and articles. Considering this, the best example of a sentence that can belong to a literary nonfiction is "On sunny days, the majestic mountain looks as if you can reach out and touch its snowy surface" because this sentence is based on reality or a natural phenomenon but the use of language in ti such as the words "majestic" or "touch its snowy surface" is narrative rather than academic which creates a style that is similar to the one in fiction works.

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
