Answer 1

In 'And Then There Were None', a china glass figurine disappears from the dining table after Anthony Marston's death, symbolizing the dwindling number of guests on the island.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Anthony Marston died in Agatha Christie's novel 'And Then There Were None', one of the china glass figurines on the dining table disappeared. The figurines represent the ten individuals on the island, and as each person dies, a figurine is removed. This systematic disappearance of figurines creates an atmosphere of tension and suspense, foreshadowing the fate of the remaining guests.
