1. "damp, sometimes musty smell which is common to all caves."

2. The word from paragraph 1 that means 'at first' is: "initially."

 the strange light casting eerie shadows on the walls

 the awareness of creatures such as mice scurrying across the path.

4. According to paragraph 2, the worst pain caused by exploring a low cave is in the knees.
5. The two main worries of someone walking in a low cave according to paragraph 3 are:

 whether they will ever get to the end

 how they are going to get back.

6. Two pieces of evidence from paragraph 4 that show cave walkers need to be careful
about where they tread are:

 the jagged pieces of rock littering the ground ready to pierce even the hardiest
boot
 the frequent and deep pools of stagnant water often masking themselves as
shallow puddles.
