Question

1: it was almost four in the morning, and i had finished my work, so i measured the levers one last time. what does this sentence tell you about the main character of the time machine? a he always has a hard time sleeping. b he does not trust his own work. c he traveled in time from night to day. d he stayed up late working.

Explanation:

• Option A: The sentence focuses on working late, not sleeping difficulty. Eliminate A.
• Option B: Measuring levers once more after finishing work doesn't imply distrust; it could be a final check, not lack of trust. Eliminate B.
• Option C: The sentence doesn't mention time travel from night to day, just working late. Eliminate C.
• Option D: "It was almost four in the morning" and "finished my work" "measured the levers one last time" show he worked until very late, so he stayed up late working. This matches D.

Answer:

D. He stayed up late working.
