    1. The writer calls Professor Branestawm’s laboratory his ‘inventory’. Check the dictionary to see
    what the word ‘inventory’ means and then explain why the writer calls the laboratory an
    ‘inventory’.

    Ans. The writer calls Professor Branestawm’s laboratory his ‘inventory’ because it was the place where he

    immersed in his world of inventions all the time.

    2. What was the one regret that the Professor had about his invention?

    Ans. The one regret the Professor had about his invention was that it cost more to make the liquid which
    brought pictures to life than it would to buy the things themselves.

    3. What started the confusion in the Professor’s house?

    Ans. The confusion was started by an awful smell in the Professor’s house. Mrs. Flittersnoop was making
    cakes in the kitchen when an awful smell reached her nose. She wondered from where the smell was coming; it
    could neither be coming from the drains because they had been cleaned the day before, nor from the larder.
    Later she found out the smell was of the liquid which the Professor had invented.

    4. Think about one word each to describe Professor Branestawm, Mrs. Flittersnoop, and Colonel
    Dedshott. Give reasons for choosing the words.
    Ans. Professor Branestawm – The word that can be used to describe him is ‘inventive’. He was always
    engaged in inventing something new.
    Mrs. Flittersnoop- The words that can be used to describe her is ‘nervous’ or ‘wary’. She was a housekeeper
    and was involved in her own work. She was easily frightened and was not much of a risk-taker. Colonel
    Colonel Dedshott- The word that can be used to describe him is ‘kind’. He was a true friend of the Professor
    and helped him when he was in trouble.
