I am not entirely sure whether these are the correct answers, but I will try and hopefully it helps you. :)
1. It is false that you plan the conclusion first - you need to get the general idea, and then create the entire outline.
2. It is true that a thesis statement may be controversial - if what you are writing about is a controversial topic, the thesis statement may as well be controversial.
3. It is true that you shouldn't introduce a joke in your speech unless it has some point that you want to prove - you don't want to include anything in your speech that doesn't have anything to do with what you are trying to achieve.
4. It is true that the idea is central, and that you organize your essay around it.
5. It is false that failure to listen comes only from outer distractions - it may come from the inner ones as well. You may be tired or stressed, and so in no condition to listen to someone carefully.

Answer from: Quest

"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.
