In addition, there are a lot of elephants, swamp deer, and wild water buffalo in this area. Nearly 250 animals, including at least 20 one-horned rhinos, were killed in the devastating 2016 floods. Over 200 animals were saved by the foresters, including nine rhino calves. Sadly, we have very little control over the annual flood phenomenon.

Comprehension: Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a group of mischievous monkeys. These monkeys were known throughout the land for their love of mischief and pranks. They were always up to something, and the other animals in the forest never knew what to expect from them. One day, the monkeys decided to play a prank on the elephants. They climbed up to the top of a tall tree and began throwing ripe bananas at the unsuspecting elephants below. The elephants, not used to being pelted with fruit, were confused and startled. They trumpeted in alarm and ran around in circles, trying to figure out what was happening. The monkeys, meanwhile, were having the time of their lives. They laughed and chattered as they threw more and more bananas at the elephants. The elephants, however, were not amused. They decided to teach the monkeys a lesson and began to shake the tree with all their might. The monkeys, realizing they had gone too far, quickly climbed down from the tree and ran away as fast as they could. They knew they had made a big mistake and felt guilty for causing so much trouble. From that day on, the monkeys decided to stick to less destructive pranks, like stealing the ranger’s hat or putting honey in the bird feeder. They learned their lesson and lived happily ever after, never bothering the elephants again. The moral of the story: monkeys will be monkeys, but sometimes even they need to learn when to stop monkey-ing around. SubQuestion No : 96 Q.96 What can be inferred about the monkeys’ behaviour after the incident with the elephants? Ans 1. They only play less harmful pranks.  2. They stop playing pranks altogether.  3. They continue to play pranks on the elephants.  4. They only play pranks during certain times of the day.

Comprehension: In the following passage, some words have been deleted. Read the passage carefully and select the most appropriate option to fill in each blank. Assam’s Kaziranga National Park was (1)__________ by severe floods in 2016 that destroyed 80 per cent of the park’s land and killed its wildlife. World Heritage-listed Kaziranga National Park is in India. It is a (2)________ area with the highest tiger population in the world and is home to two-thirds of the world’s great one-horned rhinoceroses. In addition, there are a lot of elephants, swamp deer, and wild water buffalo in this area. Nearly 250 animals, including at least 20 one-horned rhinos, were killed in the devastating 2016 floods. Over 200 animals were saved by the foresters, including nine rhino calves. Sadly, we have very little control over the annual flood phenomenon. Due to significant climatic changes, the possibility that it will only get worse in the coming years is (3)_________. Additionally, the dangers posed by road and highway encroachment as well as the increasing number of human settlements surrounding the Park’s core areas are a cause for concern. In order to guarantee the complete safety of the wildlife and other inhabitants of the area, it is high time that we plan some risk reduction measures. Because they are familiar with the river, its course, and other relocation centres where wildlife can be sheltered, the local communities can support us. Additionally, we must ensure that no animals are chained up during the disaster. Their likelihood of surviving floods is increased by 50% as a result. When combined with the (4)________ provided by the public authority, conventional information by the local people can undoubtedly prevent animals from succumbing to these devastating events. The life cycle is extremely delicate. While preventing flooding would be beneficial for the animals, we must also recognise that these water levels supply the soil with essential nutrients. This, in turn, aids in the development of grasses. The base of the food chain is then formed by this. Animals would begin to die from a lack of essential nutrients if the floods stopped.

World Heritage-listed Kaziranga National Park is in India. It is a (2)________ area with the highest tiger population in the world and is home to two-thirds of the world’s great one-horned rhinoceroses. In addition, there are a lot of elephants, swamp deer, and wild water buffalo in this area. Nearly 250 animals, including at least 20 one-horned rhinos, were killed in the devastating 2016 floods.

Additionally, we must ensure that no animals are chained up during the disaster. Their likelihood of surviving floods is increased by 50% as a result. When combined with the (4)________ provided by the public authority, conventional information by the local people can undoubtedly prevent animals from succumbing to these devastating events.

Comprehension: Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a group of mischievous monkeys. These monkeys were known throughout the land for their love of mischief and pranks. They were always up to something, and the other animals in the forest never knew what to expect from them. One day, the monkeys decided to play a prank on the elephants. They climbed up to the top of a tall tree and began throwing ripe bananas at the unsuspecting elephants below. The elephants, not used to being pelted with fruit, were confused and startled. They trumpeted in alarm and ran around in circles, trying to figure out what was happening. The monkeys, meanwhile, were having the time of their lives. They laughed and chattered as they threw more and more bananas at the elephants. The elephants, however, were not amused. They decided to teach the monkeys a lesson and began to shake the tree with all their might. The monkeys, realizing they had gone too far, quickly climbed down from the tree and ran away as fast as they could. They knew they had made a big mistake and felt guilty for causing so much trouble. From that day on, the monkeys decided to stick to less destructive pranks, like stealing the ranger’s hat or putting honey in the bird feeder. They learned their lesson and lived happily ever after, never bothering the elephants again. The moral of the story: monkeys will be monkeys, but sometimes even they need to learn when to stop monkey-ing around. SubQuestion No : 91 Q.91 What did the elephants do to teach the monkeys a lesson? Ans 1. They called the ranger.  2. They started shaking the tree with all their might.  3.
