How did the people present react to the big sound ?

  • A.They were shocked beyond belief.
  • B.They were indifferent to it.
  • C.They were confused.
  • D.They maintained their composure.

Answer: A

The people present were shocked beyond belief.

The narrator describes the reaction to the big bang: 'We felt as if we were being thrown violently to the ground', and later, on seeing the boy's face, 'my throat went suddenly dry'. The old woman bursts into a hysterical cry and everyone shivers. These are signs of deep shock.

'Indifferent' and 'maintained their composure' are contradicted by the shivering and the cry. 'Confused' is a milder state than the passage shows, which describes fear and a violent shock.
