The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Underground City by Jules Verne: As he spoke, came the explosion. A sound as of thunder

Ford's comparison was justified by the appearance of
an excavation, the depth of which could not be calculated.
Harry was about to spring through the opening; but the engineer,
though excessively surprised to find this cavity, held him back.
"Allow time for the air in there to get pure," said he.
"Yes! beware of the foul air!" said Simon.
