IV. Read the following passage and answer the questions set on it 10X1=10
The life of ants is very curious and interesting. Even the great German Chancellor Bismark wondered to
look at the life of ants. Probably he was astonished to see the orderly life of the ants. We find perfect order
in the ant community. We don't find such order in the life of human beings. Every member works for the
good of the whole ant community. A city of ants is crowded and always busy. The work is unending. The
homes of these small creatures are underneath small mounds raised a little above the surrounding fields.
There are chambers and galleries inside the mounds.
The most important person in the ant community is the queen. She alone lays eggs which mark the birth of
the next generation. Based on the nature of their work, ants are divided into many kinds - worker ants,
nurse ants, sentinel ants. The worker ants carry the eggs to the nursery. The nurse ants keep a careful
watch on the eggs till they are hatched. The hatched eggs become 'grubs'. The nurse ants feed the grubs

with a special food and keep them clean. The grubs grow up to 1/4..! Cocoons. The nurse ants carry the
cocoons to the top of the mound to warm them up in the sunlight. The warmed up cocoons burst open and
the young ants crawl out.
The sentinel ants guard the young ants. If there is an approach of an enemy, they give warning. The worker
ants collect the food, repair the nest etc. Based on the food they eat, ants are divided into vegetarian and
non-vegetarian ants. The vegetarian ants eat tender leaves. The non-vegetarian ants eat the insects. There
are also cannibal ants which are very dangerous. They always move in armies. Nothing is safe from them.
Even the animals like donkeys, leopards, dogs, monkeys and snakes are attacked by them. They cannot be
kept away by using kerosene.
