[SECTION – A – READING]
A. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. (10)
Dolphins are regarded as the friendliest creatures in the sea and stories of them helping
drowning sailors have been common since Roman times. The more we learn about
dolphins, the more we realise that their society is more complex than people previously
imagined. They look after other dolphins when they are ill, care for pregnant mothers and
protect the weakest in the community, as we do. Some scientists have suggested that
dolphins have a language but it is much more probable that they communicate with each
other without needing words. Could any of these mammals be more intelligent than man?
Certainly the most common argument in favour of man’s superiority over them that we
can kill them more easily than they can kill us is the least satisfactory. On the contrary,
the more we discover about these remarkable creatures, the less we appear superior when
we destroy them.
Answer the questions briefly.
