Question 2: The three men were walking on bones; yet the scene is not gruesome. Why?
Answer: The scene is not gruesome because the cavern had the appearance of a tropical country at midday in summer. The glowing fluid gave off a brightness and left no shadows on the landscape.
Question 3: Describe the mastodons and their keeper.
Answer: The mastodons were gigantic elephants. They tore down the boughs and uprooted the trees easily with their huge tusks. They swallowed the whole mass of branches and leaves.
Their keeper was a human giant, 12 feet tall, with head as big as a buffalo’s and a mane of matted hair. He held a branch of a tree and looked calm and still.
Question 4: Why do you think was the dagger left behind? Was it done on purpose?
Answer: Yes, I think the dagger was left on purpose by someone who wants others to discover this world and find their way through it. A dagger would prove very useful in the journey.
Question 5: There are three different terrains described in the story. How are these different from each other?
Answer: The first terrain mentioned is the great cavern where the narrator walked on beds of bones. Bright light illuminated every nook and cranny of the place. After about a mile, they came to the edge of a vast forest. There they found huge palms and cone-bearing trees bound by creeping vines. However, this landscape lacked colour. The third terrain the narrator passed through had a new type of soil with some rocks which looked familiar to him.
Question 6: What was the most important discovery in this story? Why do you think so?
Answer: I think the most important discovery in the story would be the existence of twelve-feet tall men. It would question the theory of evolution and the origin of mankind.
So, these were the Questions & Answers.
