I. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions. (10×1=10)
Animals are fascinating creatures that inhabit every corner of the Earth. From the tiny ant to the giant blue
whale, they come in all shapes and sizes. Some animals live on land, like lions and elephants, while others, like
dolphins and sharks, make the oceans their home. Birds such as eagles and parrots soar in the sky, while insects like
butterflies and bees flutter about in gardens. Each animal has unique features that help it survive. For example, a
cheetah's speed allows it to catch prey, while a chameleon's ability to change color helps it hide from predators.

bees perform a special dance to show the direction of flowers. Whether they are furry, scaly, feathered, or slimy,
