READING COMPREHENSION (10 MARKS)
1-Read the passage below carefully to answer the questions that follow-
To keep yourself clean, you take a bath or a shower. Animals too need to keep themselves
clean. How do animals keep themselves? Cats lick themselves to keep their fur clean. Have
you ever watched a pet cat clean itself? Elephants take baths much as you do. But instead of
hopping into the tub, they walk into a river or lake. Birds clean themselves in many ways.
Sometimes they wash in water. That’s why some people put birdbaths in their yard. At other
times birds take dust baths, just like wombats. Birds also use their beaks to keep their
feathers clean. They use their beaks the way you use a comb. Sometimes a bird has itchy bugs
in its feathers. Birds may use ants to help them clean off the bugs. A bird will lie down on an
ant nest. Then the ants will crawl on the bird. The ants make a kind of bug spray on the
feathers. Then the itchy bugs die!
