Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
There are two species of elephant seals, the northern and southern. Northern elephant seals can be found in California and Baja California, though they prefer to frequent offshore islands rather than the North American mainland.
Southern elephant seals live in sub- Antarctic and Antarctic waters that feature brutally cold conditions but are rich in the fish, squid, and other marine foods these seals enjoy. Southern elephant seals breed on land but spend their winters in the chilly Antarctic waters near the Antarctic pack ice. Do you know southern seals can dive over 4,921 feet (1,500 metres) deep and can remain submerged for up to two hours?
Southern elephant seals are the largest of all seals. Males can be over 20 feet (6 metres) long and weigh up to 8,800 pounds (4,000 kilograms). But these massive mammals with flippers aren’t called elephant seals because of their size. They take their name from their trunk like inflatable snouts.
The northern elephant seals live up to nine years whereas the southern ones can live up to 22 years. When breeding season arrives, male elephant seals define and defend territories. They collect a harem of 40 to 50 females, which are much smaller than their enormous mates. Males battle each other for dominance. Some encounters end with roaring and aggressive posturing, but many others turn into violent and bloody battles.
Sea elephants, as these seals are sometimes called, give birth in late winter to a single pup and nurse it for approximately a month. While suckling their young, females do not eat—both mother and child live off the energy stored in ample reserves of her fat. Females give birth to a single pup each year after a 11-month pregnancy.
Elephant seals migrate in search of food, spending months at sea and often diving deep to forage. They return to their rookeries in winter to breed and give birth. Though both male and female elephant seals spend time at sea, their migration routes and feeding habits differ: Males follow a more consistent route while females vary their routes in pursuit of moving prey.
Elephant seals were aggressively hunted for their oil, and their numbers were once reduced to the brink of extinction. Fortunately, populations have rebounded under legal protections.
The number of elephant seals in the world __________.

Ahas reduced drastically
Bhas remained the same
Chas become better
Dhas shrunk to extinction

Sorry, now I get in this both the answers are halfway agreeable. Even though find changes into its past tense - found, then do would never change because in this sentence you are using the mobile phone after you find it on the street, may it be at any point of time.These are rare cases and always should be cautious.

Ans 3:

Vania Aravindan from Unicent School , Miyapur Hyderabad
Class : Class 8
The given answer is utterly unexplainable. Obviously, option A fits in their according to my impeccable judgement. "If you find a mobile phone in the street what would you do?"

Ans 4:

Tamrashi Pani from National Public School, Bangalore
Class : Class 8
D should be the answer as the tense matters. since it says ' what would you do with it', 'would' is past tense so 'found ' is the answer.

Ans 5:

Saish Alampally from DPS, Hyderabad
Class : Class 10
I would go with option AIt is so dumb if u keep D

Ans 6:

Mitesh from Shishya BEML Public School, Bengaluru
Class : Class 7
Okay, so according to me the answer is 'A' . In this sentence there are two verbs -find and do. If the tense of one changes, say found changes to found, then do would surely become have done. Am I correct?

Ans 7:

Sanjana Iyer from HFS Powai, Mumbai
Class : Class 9

Ans 8:

Shayan Bari from Kendriya Vidyalaya, Katihar

Read the passages given below carefully and then answer the questions that follow :

Sona's Ride

Sona moved into the cool, blue moving water. She pushed the black inner tube towards her. She was very worried as she had never floated on the river before. 'Let me hold your hand, while you climb on,' said her father. Sona was trying very hard to hide her nervousness. 'It is a bright and beautiful day. There is not a cloud in sight. Great day to be on the river isn't it?' said she.

Sona looked out across the water where people were drifting on the tubes effortlessly. She could even see some of them talking and chatting while sailing away. None of them looked frightened. 'We'll stay together,' said her father, 'I'll hold on to your rope.'

'Will we go very fast?' Sona asked. 'No,' said her father, 'It will move slowly for a while, and then it will move quickly towards the river's curve. You don't have to worry, you will be fine.' Sona looked at her tube. It bobbed up and down, and she saw a girl of her own age having fun. Suddenly, Sona's worries disappeared. 'Keep it steady so that it will not move, father. I am ready to climb on it' said Sona.

The word 'drifting' means

A. Gently moving around

B. Walking quickly

C. Gliding in the sky

D. Spinning around
