READ THE PASSAGE AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW.
The Emperor Penguin is the worlds largest and tallest penguin. It is also the heaviest penguin, with some individuals recorded at nearly 100 pounds. Adults have a black head, back, tail, and black wings. The under parts are dingy white. The sides of the neck are marked with a large golden or yellow stripe.
Emperor Penguins eat crustaceans, krill, and small fish. Emperor Penguins will dive to depths of 800 feet in search of food. Most dives last 3-6 minutes.
The Emperor Penguin is found throughout the Antarctic perimeter. It is the only species of penguin to breed during the Antarctic winter. Female Emperor Penguins lay a single egg in May or June. After the egg has been laid, the female must immediately feed in the ocean. First, the egg is carefully transported to the male, who incubates the egg under a brood patch that rests above the feet. Occasionally, the transfer is unsuccessful and the egg rolls onto the ice and instantaneously freezes.
The male will incubate the egg for up to 65 days! During this time, he will not eat a single meal. On particularly cold days, hun-dreds of male penguins may gather together in a compact huddle to warm themselves in the pounding Antarctic winds. In about two months, the female returns and locates her mate and chick by sound. she regurgitates (throws up) the food stored in her stomach to feed the growing chick. The male then takes his turn feeding in the ocean and returns after about a month, at which point both parents tend to the chick by bringing food and keeping it off the ice. Once the chick is about seven weeks old, it joins other chicks in a creche (huddle) to keep warm.
Who takes care of the egg first?

AThe female
BThe male
COnly 'A'
DBoth 'A' and 'B'

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
A Big, White Hen
There was once a big, white hen that had ten little chickens. They were very small, and the old hen took good care of them. She found food for them in the daytime and at night kept them under her wings. One day, this old hen took her chickens down to a small brook. She thought some fresh air and the water would do them good.
When they got to the brook, they walked on the bank a little while. It was very pretty on the other side of the brook, and the old hen thought she would take her children over there. There was a large stone in the brook; she thought it would be easy for them to jump to that stone and from it to the other side.
So she jumped to the stone and told the children to come after her. For the first time, she found that they would not obey her. She flapped her wings, and shouted, "Come here, all of you! Jump upon this stone as I did. We can then jump to the other side. Come now!" "O Mother ! We can’t, we can’t!" said all the little chickens.
"Yes, you can if you try," said the old hen. "Just flap your wings as I did, and you can jump over." "I am flapping my wings," said Chiku, who stood by himself, "but I can’t jump any better than I could before."
