Comparing and Contrasting Two Versions of The War of the Worlds

Question 3 • IC English 12 - Deering

Which quotation most clearly reveals the locations of both the object and the narrator?

Answer
A
". . . although my French windows face towards Ottershaw and the blind was up . . . I saw nothing of it."
B
". . . for I loved in those days to look up at the night sky . . ."
C
"Yet this strangest of all things that ever came to earth from outer space must have fallen while I was sitting there . . ."

Explanation

Choice A gives both locations: the French windows face toward Ottershaw, and the narrator is looking through them from inside. Choice B tells us what the narrator liked to do but not where either the narrator or the object was. Choice C places the narrator sitting somewhere, but does not specify where the object landed.
