Question

The narrator describes Colonel Killigrew as not believing a word of the doctor's story. However, Killigrew's words indicate that A) he will listen a bit more. Eliminate B) the other guests are as doubtful as he is. C) he is interested in its possibilities for him. D) Heidegger has already discussed the fountain of youth with him.

Answer 1

This question is about "DR. HEIDEGGER'S EXPERIMENT"

Answer:

C) he is interested in its possibilities for him.

Explanation:

When Colonel Killigrew overhears Heidegger talking about such a fountain of youth, he doesn't believe anything he has heard. However, he is curious and in paragraph sixteen we can see that they are interested in the possibilities that this source can bring to him. We can see this, because, after the narrator claims that the colonel did not believe anything he heard, the colonel says "and what may be the effect of this fluid on the human frame?"
