Question 32

I entered the disused salt mine with the survey team just before the ventilation fan was switched on. The air was motionless, as if it had been trapped underground for years, and it tasted faintly of salt. Our guide waited by the entrance while the equipment was checked. Only when the fan started did the air begin to move around us.

From the passage, select two words or phrases that describe the air in the mine when the writer first enters.
