Read the given paragraph where few words have been italicised. Rain is our main source of water. Water vapours present in the air precipitate to form clouds. When rain falls, some of it condenses back to atmosphere and some passes through the soil upto the level of non-porous rocks beneath to form groundwater. Groundwater may come out at some places to form water table. Select the incorrect option regarding this.

APrecipitate should be replaced with condense.
BCondenses should be replaced with evaporates.
CGroundwater should be replaced with run-off.
DWater table should be replaced with spring.

Wood is a bad conductor of heat. This results in very slow heating of wood. This principle is used when we use wood utensils to cook food. I go by option (B).

Shayan Bari from Kendriya Vidyalaya, Katihar
Class : Class 7
I thought the silk is obtained from the cocoon

Ans 2:

AARAV AGRAWAL from BIRLA DIVYA JYOTI, SILIGURI
Class : Class 8
This is a trick question.. It says 'produced', not 'obtained'.. The larvae produce the silk fibre, then it is obtained from cocoon..

Ans 3:

Krishna Patidar from Advanced Academy, Indore
Class : Class 8
No, the answer is 'C' only. In pupa stage the silk fiber is only obtained, but actually it is produced by larva and in question it is asked which stage produces fiber. Hence, the answer is 'C".

Ans 4:

reechik ghosh from dps, farakka
Class : Class 7

Ans 5:

Parth Gupta from Presidium Gurgaon, Gurgaon
Class : Class 8
answer is c because in the pupa stage the silk is already produced and in the larvae stage it produces silk when it is ready to go in the next stage of its life

Ans 6:

Arushi from Indira National School, Pune
Class : Class 9
also felt d but explanation provided above makes me feel c

Ans 7:

Ashwak from Cambridge, Jalandhar
Class : Class 8
Answer should be C ,as only larvae in the life cycle of moth produce silk fibres , pupa or cocoon does NOT make silk fibres . They only undergo change in stage IN the silk fibres. They do not have the ability to produce silk fibres !

Ans 8:

Yashna Badiye from sagar public school saket nagar, Bhopal
Class : Class 8
no it is c

Ans 9:

D VISHNU from NARAYANA SCHOOL, CHENNAI
Class : Class 7
the answer is d only in the cocoon stage they are heated in the hot water so that the reproducing caterpillar will die and it will be very easy to extract silk fiber from it.

Ans 10:

Yashna Badiye from sagar public school saket nagar, Bhopal
Class : Class 8
as larva produces and when it is fully produced it forms a cocoon

Ans 11:

Aadvik saini from Mvn sector 17, Faridabad
Class : Class 8
I THINK THE ANSWER IS C

Ans 12:

Ronav Kerkar from Jamnabai Narsee School, Mumbai
Class : Class 7
admin please answer

Ans 13:

Shlok from Tomoae , Amravati
Class : Class 7
it must be c . at cocoon stage silk is already produced

Ans 14:

Mradul from Modern public school bhiwadi, Bhiwadi
Class : Class 7
IT IS 'D' BECAUSE AT COCOON STAGE THE CATERPILLAR PRODUCES SILK FIBRES AND KNOTS AROUND IT AND COVERS HIMSELF.AFTER SOME TIME THE SILK FIBRES GETS HARDEN DUE TO THE GUMMY SUBSTANCE WHICH THE CATERPILLAR PRODUCES............IT IS CALLED "FIBROIN" WHICH IS MADE UP OF PROTEINS.ON HEATING THE COCOONS IN WATER THE SILK AGAIN BECOMES SOFT AND IS EXTRACTED FROM COCOONS........THIS PROCESS IS CALLED "REELING OF SILK"

Ans 15:

Ryan Ganguly from Ebenezer International School, Bangalore
Class : Class 8
The answer is C as at that time of a Silkworms life it will produce silk. With that silk they will make a cacoon and then they will become a Moth. While it is a Pupa it does not have the ability to make Silk hence the answer is C

Ans 16:

Bhumi Chheda from SVKM J V Parekh International School, Mumbai
Class : Class 9
it is c because the silk has already started getting produces when it is larva

Ans 17:

Hritvi from Podar International School, Mumbai
Class : Class 7
OPTION C

Ans 18:

Aviral Yadu from Krishna Public School Dunda Raipur, Raipur
Class : Class 9
Ans C

Ans 19:

ARUNAV from DPS VINDHYANAGAR, VINDHYANAGAR
Class : Class 9
really confusing ... the answer option d is correct in the sense that produces means extracting the silk or when it is ready to extracted by humans. but option c is correct when produces means that when larva , itself after the fourth moult stage produces silk.

Ans 20:

Sanjaykumar S from Velammal, chennai
Class : Class 7
ans:c,you may think d,but only in larval stage it produce silk in option d it is in a cocoon stage it cannot produce silk
