In The Time Machine by H. G. Wells, what did the Time Traveller originally assume about the relationship between the Eloi and the Morlocks?
The Eloi were prey and the Morlocks were predators.
The Eloi were masters and the Morlocks were their servants.
The Eloi were laborers and the Morlocks were their masters.
The Eloi were nurturers and the Morlocks were destroyers.

Respuesta :

I would say the correct answer is B. The Eloi were masters and the Morlocks were their servants.
This is because the Time Traveller saw that the Morlocks lived and worked very hard underground, whereas the Eloi lived on the surface and enjoyed the fruits of Morlocks' labor. This is why he assumed their relationship was that of master-servant.
