Which two sentences in this excerpt from The Time Machine by H. G. Wells suggest that the Morlocks possess a degree of intelligence comparable to that of humans?

You did not provide the excerpt but I wound it and the correct answers are the following two sentences:

2. I was surprised to find it had been carefully oiled and cleaned.
