The Trojans made the hole to drag the horse in the city. False
3. Trojans took a wise decision by digging a hole in the wall
. False
4. Trojans paid attention to the warning given by the priest. Gaulse
As they were wondering how the horse had been built and why it had been left behind, they
found a Greek with his hands tied together lying under it. When the Trojans dragged him out,
the man pretended to be very frightened of them. When he was commanded to tell them why
the Greeks had gone and why they had left this horse behind, he pretended to tremble very
much and refused to speak. When at last they threatened to kill him, he spoke and told them
this false tale.
"The Greeks are tired of the long war and have sailed away in their ships," he said. "But
they are afraid of the long voyage home too, and so they have made this horse and left it as
an offering to the god of the sea. They wanted also to kill me and offer me as a sacrifice to
the sea-god; but l escaped and hid from them."
"But why did the Greeks make such a huge horse ?" some of the Trojans asked. And the
cunning Greek made this reply: "If they had made a smaller offering, you might have taken it
into your city. Then the luck would have gone to the Trojans and not to the Greeks. That is why
they made it too big to go inside your gates."
The Trojans were delighted to hear this. "The Greeks have gone," they said, "and the walls
are no longer necessary. Let us make a hole in the wall and drag the horse in."

Answer:

chance to start living.” If these sleeping men were dead instead of sleeping, they’d be no worse off than they are now. There are a lot of men who can rule Naples just as well as this sleeping guy here can. There are a lot of men who babble nonsense as well as Gonzalo. I could do it myself. Oh, I wish you understood what I’m saying—you’d see how you’re missing out on a great opportunity for yourself! Do you even get what I’m saying?
