Question

According to the narrator, what would be the negative outcomes of "taking possession” of the land?

“wanderers on a prehistoric earth”
“the aspect of an unknown planet”
“an accursed inheritance”
“profound anguish and . . . excessive toil”

Answer 1

I don’t have the passage or the source you’re quoting, so I can’t be sure. Could you paste the sentence or tell me the title/author? I’ll identify which of those phrases the narrator lists as negative outcomes. If you want a quick guess without the text: it’s likely the narrator meant the last two—“an accursed inheritance” and “profound anguish and . . . excessive toil”—but paste the passage and I’ll confirm.
