Question

3. How did the elephant justify its act of occupying the hut?​

Answer 1

The authoritative tone by which the Elephant described his point justified his action of occupying the hut.

• The Elephant said in an authoritative tone that he considered it his duty to help and protect his friends. He considered men to be his friend.
• The Elephant told the Commission that the man had invited him to save his hut from a blowing hurricane.
• As the hurricane would blow up the empty hut, the elephant sat inside the hut to stop it from blowing.
• The elephant mentioned that by doing so, he had put the undeveloped space into a more economic use which the man would also have done.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The elephant had absolutely no qualms while justifying it's territorial occupation of the man's hut.It deposed before the commission tht the man had asked the elephant to save his Hut from the hurricane and as the hurricane had gained access to the hut owing to the unoccupied space in the hut,the elephant had put the empty, undeveloped space to a more economic use by occupying it.
