Read the passage and answer the question that follow.
The Land of the Vikings
Who has not heard of the Vikings—the dauntless sea-rovers, who in the days of long ago were the dread of Northern Europe? We English should know something of them, for Viking blood flowed in the veins of many of our ancestors. And these fierce fighting men came in their ships across the North Sea from Norway on more than one occasion to invade England. But they came once too often, and were thoroughly defeated at the Battle of Stamford Bridge, when, as will be remembered, Harald the Hard, King of Norway, was killed in attempting to turn his namesake, King Harold of England, off his throne.
Norwegian historians, however, do not say very much about this particular invasion. They prefer to dwell on the great deeds of another King Harald, who was called “Fairhair”, and who began his reign some two hundred years earlier. This Harald was only a boy of ten years of age when he came to the throne, but he was determined to increase the size of his kingdom, which was then but a small one, so he trained his men to fight, built grand new ships, and then began his conquests. Norway was at that time divided up into a number of districts or small kingdoms, each of which was ruled over by an Earl or petty King, and it was these rulers whom Harald set to work to subdue. He intended to make one united kingdom of all Norway, and he eventually succeeded in doing so. But he had many a hard fight; and if the Sagas, as the historical records of the North are called, speak truly, he fought almost continuously during twelve long years before he had accomplished his task, and even then he was only just twenty-one years of age.
They say that he did all these wonderful things because a girl, named Gyda, whom he wanted to marry, refused to have anything to say to him until he had made himself King of a really big kingdom. He made a vow that he would not comb or cut his hair until he had conquered the whole country.
He led his men to victory after victory, and at length fought his last great battle at Hafrsfjord (to the south of Stavanger). The sea-fight was desperate and long, but Harald’sfleetsucceededinoverpoweringthat of the enemy, and Sulki, King of Rogaland, as well as Erik, King of Hardanger, were slain. Then Harald cut and dressed his hair, the skalds composed poems in honour of the event, and for ever after he was known as Fairhair. He was truly a great Viking, and he did not rest content with the conquest of Norway alone; for he brought his ships across the North Sea and conquered the Isle of Man, the Hebrides, the Shetlands, and the Orkneys, and he lived to the age of eighty-three.

King Harald ‘Fairhair’ fought for twelve years before he accomplished his task.
In the passage, the word ‘task’ refers to Harald’s __________.

Afight to win the heart of Gyda
Bresolve to unite the fragmented Norwegian kingdoms under him
Cdream to conquer the Isle of Man, the Hebrides, the Shetlands, and the Orkneys.
Ddesire to build grand new ships and use this navy for conquests


The correct answer is B, but the answer provided is shown as D.

Ans 1:

Vaanika Gupta from Sancta Maria International School, Hyderabad
Class : Class 6
The correct answer should be B. It is mentioned in the paragraph that King Harald's main goal was to unite Norway which at that time was divided into many districts each ruled by a petty king. He fought continuously for 12 years to achieve this goal.

Read the passage and answer the question that Follow.

Palaeontologists in Egypt have discovered a 43-million-year-old fossil of a whale species with four legs that would have been capable of walking on land as well as hunting in water.
The previously unknown species belongs to the Protecetidae, a group of extinct creatures that were part of an evolutionary change in which mammals went from being land-dwelling herbivores to sea-dwelling carnivores over 10 million years.
The 3 m-long predator has been named ‘Phiomicetus anubis' after the ancient Egyptian God of death, not just for its assumed hunting abilities but also because its skull resembles the God's jackal head.
Weighing about 600 kg, it had powerful jaw muscles and amphibious skills that would have let it prey upon creatures such as crocodiles and small mammals, as well as the calves of other whale species, the researchers said.
"It was a successful, active predator," said Abdullah Gohar, a graduate student of vertebrate palaeontology at Mansoura University. "I think it was the god of death for most animals that lived alongside it."
The researchers spent over a decade studying fossilised fragments found in an area in the Fayum Depression southwest of Cairo that is known as the Valley of the Whales because of the marine fossils unearthed there.


The most unique feature of the fossil of whale was ___________.

Ahead like Gods
Bbeing four legged
Cbeing found in Egypt
Da strong tail
