The Eloi were masters and the Morlocks were their servants. The Eloi were laborers and the Morlocks were their masters. The Eloi were nurturers and the Morlocks were destroyers.

Answer 1

The original assumption was that the Eloi were prey and the Morlocks were hunters. This changed over the course of the story when he figured out what was really going on.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. The Eloi were masters and the Morlocks were their servants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Through the descriptions we get from the Time traveller we know that the Eloi are pretty, dumb, wear clothes and do not work, and, on the other hand, the Morlocks are ugly, not as dumb as the Eloi, do not wear clothes and do the work. With this information, the Time Traveller infers that the human race has evolved into two different species: the Eloi have evolved from the iddle middle and high classes, and the Morlocks have evolved from the working class and the poor.
