Ответ

1. The collection of treasures tells us that the owner was probably an old woman with sentimental feelings.
2. Tess felt excited and delighted when she found the sugar pig. We know this because she was thrilled by the discovery and treated it as something special.
3. Jake thought he might be sick because he had bitten off the pig’s head and then realised it was made of sugar, so he felt shocked and disgusted.
4. No, it wasn’t a real antique. It was a sugar pig, not an old valuable object.
5. The episode is described in detail to make the scene vivid and humorous and to show Jake’s reaction more clearly. It adds tension and comic effect to the story.
6. Jake asks and repeats the question because he is surprised and wants confirmation. Tess doesn’t answer because she is too upset, embarrassed, or shocked.
7. The sugar pig is described as a small object found among treasures, but there is no detailed description of its appearance. So it is hard to picture it exactly.
8. The story describes surprise, excitement, embarrassment, and humour.
