SONA’S RIDE Sona moved into the cool, blue moving water. She pushed the black inner tube towards her. She was very worried as she had never floated on the river before. “Let me hold your hand, while you climb on,” said her father. Sona was trying very hard to hide her nervousness. “It is a bright and beautiful day. There is not a cloud in sight. Great day to be on the river isn’t it?” said she. Sona looked out across the water where people were drifting on the tubes effortlessly. She could even see some of them talking and chatting while sailing away. None of them looked frightened. “We’ll stay together,” said her father, “I’ll hold on to your rope.” “Will we go very fast?” Sona asked. “No,” said her father, “It will move slowly for a while, and then it will move quickly towards the river’s curve. You don’t have to worry, you will be fine.” Sona looked at her tube. It bobbed up and down, and she saw a girl of her own age having fun. Suddenly, Sona’s worries disappeared. “Keep it steady so that it will not move, father. I am ready to climb on it” said Sona. In the passage, what happens in the end? A. Sona steps into the tube. B. Sona throws her tube. C. Sona sees a girl of her own D. Sona runs away.

the passage given below carefully and then answer the question that follows:
ONCE IN THE FOREST This story is about a group of animals living in a deep jungle in South Africa. There was a rabbit, a tiger, an elephant and a giraffe. They got their water from a thin river that flowed across their little village. They did everything in that river, they drank the water, they bathed in that river, and they played in it too. However, one day when they were all going to drink water, they were surprised to see that the river was completely dry! In their fun and frolic, they hadn’t noticed that the rain hadn’t come in for a very long time. Now all the water was gone. They decided to have a meeting of all the animals. Everybody agreed that the best thing to do was to dig a big hole, and soon they would come across some water. They took turns to dig. The rabbit was very lazy, and she decided that she would not dig like all the other animals. The rest of the animals were not happy about this, so they told her that once they had some water she would not be allowed to have any. The animals started digging. They dug for weeks and weeks. When they were about to give up, they found water. In no time the hole was filling up with lots of water! This excited them. At that time, they remembered that the rabbit should not drink any water. Each animal had to take turns watching the water so that the rabbit would not steal. However, the rabbit had a clever plan. She was going to give the giraffe, the incharge one day, some food that had sleeping spice in it. When she got to the giraffe, he was very eager to have the food, since he hadn’t eaten the whole day. As soon as he had finished eating, he fell fast asleep. The rabbit quickly drank as much water as she possibly could, and then she had a good bath.
The next day when all the animals came to drink some water they found that there was no water remaining. Of course they blamed the giraffe. The poor giraffe could not remember anything. In shame, he packed all his belongings and left the village. To this day, the giraffe does not speak with any of the animals because he is still too ashamed of what he thought he had done. Which of the following animals was not there in the jungle? A. Rabbit B. Tiger C. Giraffe D. Wolf
