What is the name of the five-thousand-year-old djinni summoned by the protagonist in The Amulet of Samarkand?

• A. Aladdin
• B. Gee-Nee
• C. Salim
• D. Djinni

Answer: (B)

Gee-Nee is the ancient djinni’s name in The Amulet of Samarkand. The protagonist summons a 5,000-year-old being and the story gives him this distinctive personal name, Gee-Nee, rather than a generic title or a different character’s name. Aladdin points to a different legendary figure, Salim is a separate human character in the tale, and Djinni is just the generic term for such beings, not this particular one. So the unique name the book uses for the summoned djinni is Gee-Nee.
