Answer»

(1) The Tobor couldn’t kill Derf as he had been very weak and had lost some of his power.

(2) After making a hole in the Tobor’s uniform, Derf saw that his body was not like a V- Nem’s body at all and he was greatly surprised.

(3) Derf cried out to others because he had succeeded in breaking down the Tobor.

(4) Derf discovered that the Tobors were only machines. They were not gods at all. They could be broken.

(5) When the Nems realised that the Tobors were machines and they could be broken, the Nems stopped work and attacked the Tobors. There was no danger from the Tobors as they had become powerless. Thus the city belonged to the Nems.
