the passage given below and answer the question that follows:
Passage Water covers most of our planet. It can be found in oceans, lakes, and ponds, and in the ground itself. The cycle of
water from liquid to vapour to solid is called the water cycle. The water cycle is an exciting and continuous process, with no beginning or end. The water cycle is the movement of water in the environment by evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. The warm sun causes liquid water to evaporate (to change from a liquid into a gas or vapour) and rise up into the sky. The water vapours that are formed cool during evaporation. These cooled water vapours form clouds in the sky. The transformation of the vapour into clouds (that is, from a gas into a liquid) is condensation. Clouds can be a mass of water droplets and/or ice particles. When the clouds get heavy enough, the water falls back to the ground in the form of rain, snow, or hail. This is precipitation. Plants in our environment contain water in a liquid form. They release water vapour into the atmosphere. When plants do this it is called transpiration. Transpiration is a kind of evaporation.
Which of the following is the best example of precipitation? A. Rain B. Clouds C. Evaporation D. Ice

the passage given below and answer the question that follows:
Passage Most kinds of mammals live on the land. But few of them such as seals, walruses, whales and dolphins make their homes in the sea. Some of these animals can stay under water for long periods of time. But, like all mammals, they are air-breathers. They must come to the surface to breathe from time to time. Whales and dolphins look so much like fish that many people think they are fish. But they are mammals. Thay have hair, they are warm blooded and their babies drink milk from their mother’s breast. The dolphins and porpoises are really small whales. Most people can’t tell a dolphin and porpoise apart, but there is a way. The snout of a dolphin is beak like and it almost seems to be smiling. A porpoise has a rounded snout. Dolphins are also much more playful than porpoises. They often leap out of the water. Seals, sea lions and walruses belong to a second group of sea mammals. All these animals are called pinnipeds which mean ‘fin-foot’. Their fins are simply flattened feet.
These sea mammals are very different from the ones in the first group. Although they spend much of their time in the water, yet they are able to come on to the land and waddle about on their fin feet. Whales and dolphins can stay under water for long periods of time but A. They must come to surface to breathe. B. Must drink salt water to breathe. C. Eat green sea plants to get their oxygen. D. None of the above

the story given below and answer the following question:
Passage Harris was riding a bicycle with his wife through Holland. The roads were stony, and the machine jumped a good deal. ‘Sit tight,’ said Harris, without turning his head. Mrs. Harris thought he said, ‘Jump off.’ Mrs. Harris did jump off; while Harris pedaled away hard, thinking that she was still behind him. At first she thought he was riding up the hill just to show off. She expected him to jump off when he reached the top of the hill, and lean in a careless and graceful manner against the bicycle, waiting for her. When she saw him pass the top of the hill and cycle rapidly down the other side, she was quite alarmed. She ran to the top of the hill and shouted, but he never turned his head. She watched him disappear into a wood a mile and a half away, and then sat down and cried. She had no money and she knew no Dutch. People passed, and seemed sorry for her. She tried to make them understand what had happened. They gathered that she had lost something, but could not grasp what. They took her to the nearest village, and found a policeman for her. From the signs she made, the policeman thought that some man had stolen her bicycle. They found a boy driving a lady’s bicycle about four miles away. They brought him to her in a cart, but as Mrs. Harris did not want either him or his bicycle, they let him go again. Meanwhile, Harris continued his ride with much enjoyment. It seems to him that he had suddenly become a stronger cyclist. “1 haven’t felt this machine so light for months. It’s this air, I think. It’s doing me good,” he said. Then he told
his wife not to be afraid, and he would show her how fast he could go. He sped merrily on for about five miles. Then, the feeling began to grow upon him that something was wrong. He stretched out his hand behind him and felt there was nothing there. He jumped, or rather fell off, and looked back up the road. It stretched white and straight and not a living soul could be seen on it. Harris was in a panic. He asked several people, but nobody could understand anything that he was saying except that he seemed to have lost a lady. A young man suggested the police station at the next town. Harris made his way there. The police gave him a piece of paper, and told him to write down a full description of his wife, together with the details of when and where he had lost her. He did not know where he had lost her- all he could tell them was the name of the village where he had his lunch. He knew he had her with him then, and they had started from there together. With the help of a hotel-keeper, who spoke a little English, the police were able to make out what he wanted. In the evening they brought her to him in a covered wagon, together with a bill of expenses. She was very angry! (Adapted from Three Men on the Bummel by Jerome K.

Passage The Giant had gone to visit his friend, The Cornish Ogre, and had stayed with him for seven years. So, every afternoon, on their way back from school, the children used to play in the Giant’s garden. It was a large lovely garden, with soft green grass. Here and there, over the grass stood beautiful flowers like stars, there were twelve peach trees that in the spring time broke out into delicate blossoms of pink and pearl, and in the autumn bore rich fruit. The birds sat on the trees and sang so sweetly that children used to stop their games in order to listen to them. “How happy we are here!” they cried to each other. When the Giant arrived he saw the children playing in the garden. “What are you doing here?” he cried in a very gruff voice and the children raw away. “My own garden is my own garden,” said the Giant. “Anyone can understand that, and I will allow nobody to play in it. but myself.” So he built a high wall all around it, and put up a notice-board saying, TRESPASSERS WILL BE PROSECUTED He was a very selfish Giant. The poor children now had nowhere to play. They tried to play on the road, but the road was very dusty and full of hard stones, and they did not like it. They used to wander round the high wall when their lessons were over, and talk about the beautiful garden inside. “How happy we were there,” they said to each other. Then the Spring came, and all over the country there were little blossoms and little birds. Only in the garden of the Selfish Giant it was still winter. The birds did not care to sing in it as there were no children, and the trees forgot to blossom. Once a beautiful flower put its head but from the grass, but when it saw the notice- board it was so sorry for the children that it slipped back into the ground again, and went off to sleep.

the story given below and answer the following question:
Passage A long time ago, when animals could talk, there lived in a forest four wise creatures -a hare, a jackal, an otter and a monkey. They were good friends, and every evening they would sit together in a forest glade to discuss the events of the day, exchange advice and make good resolutions. The hare was the noblest and wisest of the four. He believed in the
superiority of men and women, and was always telling his friends tales of human goodness and wisdom. One evening, when the moon rose in the sky, and those days the moon’s face was clear and unmarked, the hare looked up at it carefully and said, “Tomorrow good men will observe a fast, for I can see that it will be the middle of the month. They will eat no food before sunset, and during the day they will give alms to any beggar or holy man who may meet them. Let us promise to do the same. In that way, we can come a little closer to human beings in dignity and respect.” The others agreed, and then went their different ways. Next day, the otter got up, stretched himself, and was preparing to get his breakfast when he remembered the vow he had taken with his friends. “If I keep my word, how hungry I shall be by evening!” he thought. “I’d better make sure that there’s plenty to eat once the fast is over.” He set off towards the river. A fisherman had caught several large fish early that morning, and had buried them in the sand, planning to return for them later. The otter soon smelt them out. “A supper all ready for me,” he said to himself. “But since it’s a holy day, I mustn’t steal.” Instead he called out, “Does anyone own this fish?” There being no answer, the otter carried the fish off to his home, setting it aside for his evening meal. - Ruskin Bond (from The Hare in the Moon) The word ‘Resolutions’ means________ A. Small opening in a jungle B. Decisions C. Clothing, food or money given to poor people D. a main meal eaten in the evening.
