Hi teachers,
Context:

Would the following be suitabe questions and answers?
1. Where was Merrick two years ago? In a shop near the London Hospital.
2. What could people do for some money? They could see Merrick and laugh at him. (a more challeging one?)
3. What did Dr Treves do after he saw Merrick? He brought him to that hospital and looked at him carefully.
4. Besides examining Merrick at the hospital, what else did Dr Treves do? He gave him his card.
Thanks in advance,
