Who says the following and why? "He was once hunted into a cemetery somewhere on the banks of the Ganges by a pack of pariah dog
s, and had to spend the night in a newly dug grave with the creatures snarling and grinning and foaming just above him. Enough to make anyone lose their nerve."
In the passage, Vera is creating a "false" tale about why her Uncle is scared of dogs. This is a critical moment because most of the readers realize Vera has often lied to them throughout the novel.
it states in passage two that "As the plant and animal matter decays, it releases nutrients into the soil. Then, it is absorbed by the roots of living plants and turned into food for the plant." -also you spelled will wrong :)
