Ans.3.   The Masters said that Wasserkopf had investigated the subject in accordance with modern researches based on the quantum theory. The time might be synthesized into a unified whole. The mass- system might be reduced to a unit and year might be represented by a meter i.e. seven years by seven metres. Then the masters claimed that the actual warfare took place only for half of day, thus, thirty years became fifteen. But 15 years were not given for continuous fighting- it also included the time for meals, rest, peaceful diversions, nonwarlike activities etc. Thus, the time was reduced to Einsteinian equivalent of seven metres.

He pretended to be a culprit. He said that one of his men had been caught by the police and he was also expecting trouble that night. So, he  had packed his bag which contains a gun and disguise outfit,  false  moustaches etc. Then he asked the Intruder to move through a door to the garage. The intruder suspected ; Gerrard asked him to look himself and when he leaned forward to inspect it, Gerrard pushed him into the cupboard, knocking down the revolver and locked the door.

Ans.4.As the two most precious things in the city, the angel brought the dead swallow and the leaden heart of the Happy  Prince.  The angel was right in choosing because both of them sacrificed themselves for the benefit of the pours and the sufferers.

In the story ” The Bet ” the lawyer emerged as a better human being. When they had the bet fifteen years before, both of them were ordinary human beings – the banker had  a  money while the lawyer in greed of money accepted the bet.

The lawyer spent fifteen years in a lonely cell. He read books. Books gave him wisdom and changed his mind and soul. He became a refined man. He realised that what the people call to be the blessings on earth-wealth, health, beauty – they are all delusive as a mirage. To show his contempt, he waived the two million roubles that he was about to win. He even freed the  banker from obligation by coming out of the prison five minutes before the stipulated time.

On the other hand, the banker remained selfish and mean. To save his two millions, he even attempted to kill the lawyer. He again showed his meanness by keeping the lawyer’s note locked   in his safe.

Thus, the lawyer emerged to be a better human being.
