What was the condition of the narrator’s prison in the pit and the pendulum

The simple answer is also the most obvious one: he does not like his prison, as it is a prison. The less obvious answer is a little more tricky. He quickly rules out that he is not dead, but he fears in what condition he might be. He remembers all of the "vague rumors of the horrors of Toledo", and he starts to wonder if they were not rumors at all. Worrying that he would be left to die of starvation or worse

i would say the answer is erm c but if you dont agree im so sorry

the reason that neiterkob's daughter most likely tell the beginnings of the maasai is : to explain the readers the origin of maasai culture

with this explanation, the reader will grasp a better concept about it and not lost in the middle of reading.
