Question

when Morris was asked about the monkeys law why did he dismiss the question offhandedly

Answer 1

Sergeant Morris who was asked about the Monkey's paw didnt dismiss that specific question offhandedly rather he was trying to dowmplay the importance of the monkey's paw since he was in India and had been seeing many things related to magic which made him get used to it.

This led him to not really believe in the abilities of the Monkey's paw.

Answer 2

Answer:

is it downplay or dowmplay?
