Question: Earth was initially molten due to extreme volcanism and frequent collisions with other bodies. Eventually, the outer layer of the planet cooled to form a solid crust when water began accumulating in the atmosphere. The Moon formed soon afterwards, possibly as the result of a Mars-sized object with about 10% of the Earth's mass impacting the planet in a glancing blow. Some of this object's mass merged with the Earth, significantly altering its internal composition, and a portion was ejected into space. Some of the material survived to form an orbiting moon. Outgassing and volcanic activity produced the primordial atmosphere. Condensing water vapor, augmented by ice delivered from comets, produced the oceans.

Question: CHAPTER II SHIPWRECKED

Upon the following morning Nigel Graheme told his visitors that he had determined to accept their offer, and would at once set to work to raise a company.

"I have," he said, "as you know, a small patrimony of my own, and as for the last eight years I have been living here looking after Malcolm I have been laying by any rents, and can now furnish the arms and accoutrements for a hundred men without difficulty. When Malcolm comes of age he must act for himself, and can raise two or three hundred men if he chooses; but at present he will march in my company. I understand that I have the appointment of my own officers."

"Yes, until you join the regiment," Munro said. "You have the first appointments. Afterwards the colonel will fill up vacancies. You must decide how you will arm your men, for you must know that Gustavus' regiments have their right and left wings composed of musketeers, while the centre is formed of pikemen, so you must decide to which branch your company shall belong."

"I would choose the pike," Nigel said, "for after all it must be by the pike that the battle is decided."

"Quite right, Nigel. I have here with me a drawing of the armour in use with us. You see they have helmets of an acorn shape, with a rim turning up in front; gauntlets, buff coats well padded in front, and large breast plates. The pikes vary from fourteen to eighteen feet long according to the taste of the commander. We generally use about sixteen. If your company is a hundred strong you will have two lieutenants and three ensigns. Be careful in choosing your officers. I will fill in the king's commission to you as captain of the company, authorizing you to enlist men for his service and to appoint officers thereto." 1. Did Graheme accept their offer

Question: Tarwala was a strange boy. He liked to eat anything that was put in front of him, even if it wasn't food. As a child he ate chalk sticks thinking it was candy. All the strange things he ate made him very sick. After eating the chalk, his stomach made a weird noise as if it was trying to talk to him. Tarwala accidentally pooped on the door mat because he did not make it to the bathroom in time, but he still did not stop eating strange things.

One day, Tarwala got in trouble at the zoo for trying to eat lettuce along with the big cats. His parents felt that they needed to help Tarwala fix his problem. His dad had a great idea, and he needed one month to do it. One month later, his dad took off his sock and put it in front of Tarwala. Tarwala immediately ate the sock like he always did, but something special happened. Tarwala saw bright lights and passed out. It turns out that Tarwala's dad did not change his sock or wash his toes for the whole month. The stink was so powerful that it got magical. The magical stink changed Tarwala's mouth, brain, and stomach to help him tell the difference between real food and things that were not food. Tarwala started to eat like a normal child and he lived a good life. 1. Who was Tarwala?
2. What did he like?
3. Was it food?
