In Session 4 of "The Mummy's Curse" Reading Comprehension, students explore various reasons behind the characters' actions and the effectiveness of certain phrases. The Time Train is buried to prevent others from discovering it and to ensure the characters' return to The Butterfly Club in 1894. Sallah bites a sovereign to verify its authenticity as real gold. The phrase 'a hive of activity' is used to vividly describe the bustling scene of people digging, likening them to busy worker bees in a beehive. Luna adopts the guise of Arthur Conan Doyle's niece as a cover story to conceal their true identities and justify their presence. 'Pass the time of day' is understood to mean exchanging casual greetings or remarks. Howard Carter's unwelcoming attitude stems from his belief that Arthur Conan Doyle and the time-thieves are competitors in the search for Tutankhamun's tomb. Lastly, Konstantin's confusion arises from his unfamiliarity with World War 1, as he hails from a time before the war, unlike Lord Carnarvon, who has the war fresh in his memory.

The fourth session's summary within a 50-word limit could encapsulate the key events and character interactions that drive the narrative forward, focusing on the central themes of time travel, historical context, and the quest for Tutankhamun's tomb. It would briefly mention the main plot points and character dynamics that were discussed in the comprehension answers.
