Answer 1

Hey Chika ❤

Here's ur answer-

Gerrard told this to the intruder because Intruder wasn't telling anything about him to Gerrard. Instead he kept in asking questions to Gerrard. No, the words were actually not meant but Gerrard wanted to make their conversation long.

Answer 2

Answer:

Gerrard’s remark ‘you have been so modest’ was ironical. The Intruder had been boasting of his intelligence and smartness. Hence, Gerrard ironically commented on his modesty and asked him to say something about himself.
