Answer:

You can find the first two in the textbook. The answer of the third one is that the desk had rool top in several places, one leg was clumsily mended, and it had scorch marks because it was burned and had water sprayed on it. The 4th one is that the man said that it was made in nineteen century and was made of oak. The 5th one is cheap is expensive and late is early.
