1. What was the reason for the ghost needing to make regular appearances each week? 2. What was the purpose

1. The reason for the ghost needing to make regular appearances each week was to fulfill his penance, as he was cursed to haunt Canterville Chase until a specific condition was met. The condition was that he needed to offer forgiveness to someone.

2. The purpose of the ghost taking oil from Mr. Otis" bedroom was to lubricate the chains that bound him. The ghost was shackled by the chains as part of his penance and by oiling the chains, he could move more freely and make his appearances throughout the house.

3. When the ghost attempted to frighten the twins, the outcome was quite unexpected. The twins did not get frightened by the ghost"s antics. Instead, they played pranks on him and even laughed at his attempts. This left the ghost feeling humiliated and frustrated as no one had ever reacted to him like that before.

4. The ghost managed to avoid getting completely wet by cleverly using a towel. At one point, the twins spilled water over him, causing him to start vanishing. In a quick reaction, the ghost grabbed a towel and covered himself, preventing himself from disappearing completely and maintaining his form.

5. The ghost was motivated to remain in his room due to a deep sense of sadness and despair. He felt rejected and unloved by his family who had abandoned him in life. Staying in his room was a way for him to isolate himself from the outside world and wallow in his sorrow, choosing to live in the memories of his past rather than facing the harsh reality of his current existence.
