Which sentence(s) best explains how Ogilvy knew the cylinder was from Mars?
The cylinder was artificial— hollow—with an end that screwed out! Something within the cylinder was unscrewing the top!
At once, with a quick mental leap, he linked the Thing with the flash upon Mars.
The thought of the confined creature was so dreadful to him that he forgot the heat and went forward to the cylinder to help turn.
By eight o’clock a number of boys and unemployed men had already started for the common to see the “dead men from Mars.” _________________________________________________________________________________
