Question

Why does Charley say it is easy to get lost at the Grand Central Station?
CLASS12 THIRD LEVEL, VISTAS

Answer 1

Charley said it was easy to be lost at the Grand Central Station because it was very large and complex. It had two levels. At one level one could find inter-city trains (long distance trains plying between cities); and on the other level one could board intra-city trains (trains plying within the city). It was believed that its tunnels underground were growing like the roots of a tree.

Answer 2

Answer: The Grand Central Station was like a growing tree pushing out endless corridors, doorways and stairs like roots. It had intricate and tangled pathways. The network of passages was so complicated that instead of reaching his destination, one did tend to move up and down to look for entries and exits. So, Charley often got lost on this station.
