Answer 1

1. Alice begins the story lazing by a riverbank when she sees a white rabbit run past.
2. Because the rabbit takes a watch out of its waistcoat pocket, Alice is consumed with curiosity and follows it into its rabbit hole which she promptly falls down.
3. "Curiouser and curiouser" is a well known phrase which Alice utters when she discovers that she is growing, after having drunk from a bottle marked 'drink me'.

7. Growing to an enormous size, Alice soon finds herself trapped in the White Rabbit's house.
8. Having escaped from the rabbit's house, Alice attempts to play with a puppy, but she is so tiny at this point that she equates it to, "having a game of play with a cart-horse."
9. In Chapter V, Alice meets the Caterpillar and recites the poem 'You Are Old Father William'.
10. Just as the Caterpillar leaves, he tells Alice that one side of the mushroom will make her grow taller and the other side will make her grow shorter, thus enabling Alice to gain control of her changes in size.
11. Kitchens should not be full of pepper, but the kitchen of the Duchess is so full of it that everyone is very hot tempered and prone to sneezing.

13. Madness is a theme which runs throughout the book, exemplified by the Cheshire Cat's famous comment, "we're all mad here."

24. Xanadu is another imaginary place in fiction, but Wonderland is far better known.
25. "You're nothing but a pack of cards!" is the phrase Alice cries at the climax of the book.
26. Zealous Alice fans tend to be rather scathing about the various film adaptations and prefer the original books.
