Read this excerpt from The Time Machine. Then complete the sentences that follow. And perhaps the thing that struck me most was

Indeed, I found afterwards that horses, cattle, sheep, dogs, had followed the Ichthyosaurus into extinction.

At first I was puzzled by all these strange fruits, and by the strange flowers I saw, but later I began to perceive their import.
