Test: The World in a Wall - 1 - Class 8 MCQ

Gerald Durrell is best known for writing books about his life as an animal collector, founding a wildlife conservation trust, and being a television presenter.

Gerald Durrell's first published book was titled "The Overloaded Ark."

Gerald Durrell found a fat female scorpion in the wall, accompanied by her babies.

It was unfortunate because Gerald got distracted by lunch and forgot about the scorpions he had placed on the mantelpiece.

When Larry opened the matchbox, the female scorpion and her babies quickly crawled out and escaped.

The situation became increasingly chaotic and confused after the scorpions escaped, leading to panic and disturbance among the family members.

Larry refers to Roger as the "silly boy" during the commotion caused by the escaped scorpions.

The family mistakenly thinks that the scorpions are attacking Lugaretzia, the only stranger in the room, during the chaos caused by their escape.

Leslie suggests that the whole lot of scorpions should be killed to deal with the situation.

He is protective of the family. Roger, the dog, bites Lugaretzia in an attempt to defend the family, as he mistakenly thinks they are being attacked.
