the passage given below and answer the question that follows:

Passage Spiders are not insects as many people believe. They belong to a class of animals called arachnids. Spiders have eight

eyes, four pairs of segmented legs, and can grow a new leg if they lose one. They do not have antenna or wings. A spider’s body can be divided into two sections. The sections are the abdomen and the cephalothorax. The legs, eyes, and mouthparts are in the cephalothorax section. Most spiders have poison glands and fangs in their jaws, which they use to inject poison into insects. This poison is called venom. Venom can paralyze an insect allowing the spider to eat the insect as food. Spiders can live almost anywhere in the world. Some like very humid or hot temperatures and some like places that are very dry. Some spiders prefer to live under ground and others live in trees. We have all seen spiders that prefer to live in our houses. These amazing animals usually have six fingerlike silk glands called spinnerets located beneath their abdomen. The silk comes from inside the spider’s body as a liquid that is thicker than water. A spider uses this silk to make a web by squeezing the silk out of two small holes at the back of its body. These small holes are called spinnerets. At the time the silk hits the air, the silk dries into a line that looks like a long string of hair. Spiders use this silk as draglines to hang onto as the wind blows it through the air. The spider can crawl up or down on this dragline if the wind takes it somewhere it doesn’t want to be. Young spiders and adult male spiders like ballooning and can release long silken threads that float or ride in the wind to new areas. There are about 30,000 different types of spiders known to scientists. Most of them are very tiny animals that help us by eating insects. The next time you are out in the yard and see a spider, take a few minutes to watch this most interesting animal. How do spiders help us? A. By making webs and draglines B. By growing new legs C. By eating insects D. None of these

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.

Passage It was a warm, spring Saturday morning, but that wasn’t the only reason Jim woke up in a good mood. He was going to the nursery with his father. Jim loved gardening, and Mr. Ito’s nursery was Jim’s favourite store. Jim could see from the parking lot that the flowers and shrubs at the nursery were already in full bloom. There were yellow daffodils and tulips in a range of colors from white to purple so dark they were almost black. Jim loved the bright green of the new leaves on the trees. It had been a long, cold winter, and the flowers cheered him up. Jim’s father rubbed his hands together. “Let’s go do some shopping,” he said. Jim pushed the shopping cart while his father piled things into it. They bought a bag of potting soil. Jim loved the way it smelled.

They bought ferns and flowers for their deck. They bought fertilizer. Jim’s father held up a birdhouse. “Should we get this?” he asked Jim. Jim shook his head. “Let’s make our own,” he said. They bought vegetable seeds for their garden. They got radishes, carrots, zucchini and red beet seeds. They bought trays of young tomato plants and lettuce. “Are you sure we should get lettuce? Jim asked his father. “Remember how the slugs ate it all last year?” His father sighed and nodded. “I’m going to spread sawdust this year. I heard that keeps the slugs away.” After Jim and his father filled their cart, they parked it in the shade and strolled around the nursery looking at all the shrubs and trees. “I think we should plant an apple tree this year,” said Jim. “I agree,” said his father. “There is no room in the car this time, but may be we can come back next week and pick one out.” They paid and drove home, and spent the rest of the day working in the yard. Jim was tired when he went to bed, but he was happy and the yard looked great. He couldn’t wait to eat the vegetables. According to the story, what do Jim and his father do annually? A. Make hanging baskets B. Make a bird house C. Plant lettuce D. Plant an apple tree

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.

Mary had a little lamb, Its fleece was white as snow. And everywhere that Mary went, The lamb was sure to go.

And so the teacher turned him out, But still it lingered near, And waited patiently about, Till Mary did appear. And then it went to her and laid, His head upon her arm, As if he said, “I am not afraid, You’ll keep me from all harm.” “What makes the lamb love Mary so?” The eager children cry--“Oh! Mary loves the lamb, you know,” The teacher did reply. “And you each gentle animal in confidence may bind, And make them follow at your call, If you are always kind!” (Sarah Joseph Hale) Find the word which mean the following: 'Eager :__________' A.
