Question

Mr Oliver was not a nervous or an imaginative man" How did this statements prove wrong later in the story A face In the dark by Ruskin bond

Answer 1

"Mr Oliver was not a nervous or an imaginative man".

This statement is proved wrong later in the story such that :

• Mr Oliver was not considered as nervous or imaginative man because he usually carried torch and moved fearlessly down the forest path.

• But one fine day when he was returning through the pine forest, he witnessed some unusual sight like boy without eyes, ears and nose along with ghostly appearance.

• Mr Oliver was terrified, his hands were trembling and also crying for help prove the statement wrong as all of his courage vanishes at the sight of ghost.
