SECTION A- READING (3 Marks)


Q1. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below.

An owl is a bird. There are two basic types of owls: typical owls and bam owls. Owls live in almost
every country of the world. They are mostly nocturnal, meaning they are awake at night. Owls are
predators—they hunt the food that they eat. Owls hunt for mice and other small mammals, insects
and even fish. Owls are well adapted for hunting. Their soft, fluffy feathers make their flight nearly
silent. They have very good hearing which helps them to hunt well in the darkness. The sharp
hooked beaks and claw of the owl makes it very easy to tear apart their prey quickly, although owls
also eat some prey whole.
Owl’s eyes are unusual. Like most predators, both the eyes of the owl face front. The owl cannot
move its eyes. Owls are far—sighted, which means they can see very well far away………. but
they can’t see close very well at all. Fortunately, their distant vision is what they use for hunting
and they can see far away even in low light. Owls have facial disks around their eyes, tufts of
feathers in a circle around each eye. These facial disks are thought to help the Owl’s hearing. Owls
can turn their heads 180 degrees. This makes it look like they might be able to turn their heads all
the way around, but 180 degrees is all the owl needs to see what’s going on all around it. Perhaps
because of the Owl’s mysterious appearance, especially its round eyes and flexible neck, there are
a lot of myths and superstitions about owls. Many cultures believe that owls are unusually wise.
Because owls are nocturnal, some cultures associate owls with bad omens. The screech of the bam
owl is considered by many to sound eerily human, like a person screaming. However, owls
probably do not interact with the fates of humans at all. In fact, some owl species may become
extinct because of humans.
