Q II] Read the following passage and do the activities: 10 marks.

Our frigate wanted to go back, but the unearthly animal came at us with a speed double our

own. We gasped. More stunned than afraid, we stood mute and motionless. The animal

caught up with us, played with us. It made a full circle around the frigate and wrapped us in

sheets of electricity that were like luminous dust. At any instant it could have dashed

against our ship.

Meanwhile I was surprised to see that our warship was fleeing, not fighting. I commented

on this to Commander Farragut. His face, ordinarily so emotionless, showed great

astonishment.

“Professor Aronnax,” he answered me, “I don't know what kind of fearsome creature I'm up

against, and I don't want my frigate running foolish risks in all this darkness. Besides, how

should we attack this unknown creature, how should we defend ourselves against it? Let's

wait for daylight and then we'll play a different role.”

The whole crew stayed on their feet all night long. No one even thought of sleeping. Unable

to compete with the monster's speed, our frigate, the Abraham Lincoln slowed down. For

its part, the animal mimicked the frigate, simply rode with the waves, but did not leave the

field of battle.

However, near midnight it disappeared, or to use a more appropriate expression, ‘it went

out,” like a huge glowworm. Had it fled from us? We didn’t know and were filled with fear

and hope at the same time. But at 12: 53 a deafening hiss could be heard, resembling the

sound made by a water spout expelled with tremendous intensity.
