Question

Read the passage below from The First Men in the Moon.

To the north-east some isolated watering-place was visible, a row of gaunt lodging-houses, the tallest things that I could see on earth, dull dabs against the brightening sky. What strange men can have reared these vertical piles in such an amplitude of space I do not know. There they are, like pieces of Brighton lost in the waste.
What can the reader infer about Mr. Bedford’s emotions based on the description of setting above?

He is sad to have left the moon.
He is confused by how things have changed.
He is disappointed with his native land.
He is overjoyed to be home.

Answer 1

Answer:

A) He is sad to have left the moon; If I'm correct he didn't want to stay on the moon. I don't think this is the answer

B) He is confused by how things have changed; At first Bedford didn't know where he was when he looked around, I believe this is your answer

C) he is disappointed with his native land; He wasn't disappointed until later in the chapter, I don't think this is your answer

D) He is overjoyed to be home; Bedford was happy to be home, he wasn't disappointed to be home, I don't believe he was overjoyed tho.

Your answer is: B) He is confused by how things have changed
