Chapter 3: A Dangerous Forest

From Bombay to Calcutta, Phileas Fogg and Passepartout travelled by...

• car.

• canoe.

• train.

• plane.

This passenger was with them on The Mongolia, on their journey from Suez to Bombay.

• Sir Andrew Stuart.

• Sir Francis Cornwall

• Sir Thomas Cromarty

• Sir Francis Cromarty

Sir Francis Cromarty...

• lived in India for many years and knew a lot about the country.

• is an English businessman who sells fine Indian silk.

• is a spy disguised as an Englishman.

• is an Indian guide who knows India like the back of his hand.

The train journey ended...

• ... as planned, in Calcutta.

• ... abruptly near the small village named Kholby.

• ... with a terrible railway accident.

• ... in Allahabad because of bad weather.

The problem was that...

• ... Fogg and Passepartout were running out of food.

• ... Fogg and Passepartout disliked Cromarty's company.

• ...Fogg and Passepartout had no clean clothes.

• ...the railway track to Calcutta was not ready yet.

The following are all problems that Phileas Fogg had to solve:

(choose the odd one out)

• They had no transport to reach Calcutta.

• They had lost an important key which they needed to open their suitcase.

• They were on a race against time to reach Calcutta.

• They had to save a young Indian princess.

Fogg decided to ...

• ... go to the village to buy a new set of shoes.

• ... £2,000 to buy an elephant.

• ... go to the village to buy a new train ticket.

• ... call it a day and check-in at a hotel.

A young Indian man who acted as their guide suggested...

• that they should walk rather than sit on the elephant's back.

• that they should all wear Indian clothing.

• that they should spend the night in the village and leave on their journey the following day.

• that they should take a shortcut through the forest.

To have butterflies in your stomach means that...

• ...you have swallowed a butterfly and its fluttering in your stomach.

• ...you are feeling tense and anxious.

• ...you have a stomach ache.

• ...a butterfly has just stopped on your stomach.

Another word for dawn is...

• sunset

• sunrise

• noon

• dusk
