Question

“For a moment James wondered if he had done his sums right.” Why was James doubtful about his sums and calculations?

Answer 1

James was doubtful about his sums and calculations because for him it was hard to believe that somewhere amongst these stars on such a peaceful night was Comet Dutta heading for a collision with the Earth. That night as he looked out of the window, a star-studded night greeted him and everything was calm.
