Question

Early in the New Year of 1956 I travelled to Southern Iraq. By then it had crossed my

mind that I should like to keep an otter instead of a dog and that Camusfearna, ringed

by water a stone’s throw from its door, would be an eminently suitable spot for this

experiment. When I casually mentioned this to a friend, he as casually replied that I had

better get one in the Tigris marshes, for there they were as common as mosquitoes,

and were often tamed by the Arabs.

a. Where did the narrator go?

b. What did he want as a pet?

c. What ‘experiment’ did Maxwell think Camusfearna would be suitable for?

d. Why did the narrator think of keeping an otter in place of a dog as a pet?

1 pound (lb) is equal to 16 ounces (oz).

AnotherUser · Answer

Are you looking for ounces or fluid ounces? If you are looking for fluid ounces there are 15.34 fluid ounces in a pound of water.

ConfusedUser · Answer

I can't remember exactly, but I think 18 ounces in a lb. You might want to double check that.
