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

There were, perhaps, a couple of hundred people dining in the hall, and most of them, seated as near to me as they could come, were watching me with interest, their little eyes shining over the fruit they were eating. All were clad in the same soft and yet strong, silky material. Fruit, by the by, was all their diet. These people of the remote future were strict vegetarians, and while I was with them, in spite of some carnal cravings, I had to be frugivorous also. Indeed, I found afterwards that horses, cattle, sheep, dogs, had followed the Ichthyosaurus into extinction.

1) The description of the broken windows and dusty curtains in the first paragraph foreshadows the Time Traveler's later discovery that <u>the race he encounters in the novel known as the Elois is not an intelligent race and that they are quite inactive and slow in comparison to Morlocks who are the complete opposite of them.</u>

2)  The Time Traveler thinks that the diet of fruit is <u>that the Elois race simply accepts the state of the situation in which they live. As mentioned previously, they are quite lethargic and with 0 will to fight back or change their fate.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>
