Read the extract from the Iron Man. Answer the questions.

The Iron Man came to the top of the cliff. How far had he walked? Nobody knows. Where had
he come from? Nobody knows. How was he made? Nobody knows.
Taller than a house, the Iron Man stood at the top of the cliff, on the very brink, in the
darkness.
The wind sang through his iron fingers. His great iron head, shaped like a dustbin but as big as a
bedroom, slowly turned to the right, slowly turned to the left. His iron ears turned, this way,
that way. He was hearing the sea. His eyes, like headlamps, glowed white, then red, then infra-
red, searching the sea. Never before had the Iron Man seen the sea.
