Detailed explanation-1: -What did Joanna realise when she looked at the last leaf for a long time? She was wrong.
Detailed explanation-2: -Behrman paints a realistic-looking leaf onto the wall outside Johnsy’s window-tricking Johnsy into believing that one leaf has improbably survived a storm-Johnsy realizes that her attitude has been unacceptable, and she regains her health.
Detailed explanation-3: -Johnsy fell very seriously ill in November. She had pneumonia. She would lie in her bed without moving, just gazing out of the window. Sue, her friend, became very worried.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: Sue felt extremely worried that the lead would fall off by the next morning, and if Johnsy saw that, she would not survive.
