8.Question no 8 to 13 are based on the poem given below

Read the poem and answer the following questions:

Possum Crossing
Backing out the driveway
The car lights cast an eerie glow
In the morning fog centering
On movement in the rain slick street (1)

Hitting brakes, I anticipate a squirrel or a cat or sometimes
A little raccoon
I once braked for a blind little mole who try though he did
Could not escape the cat toying with his life
Mother-to-be possum occasionally lopes home ….being
Naturally……slow her condition makes own even more ginger (2)

WE need a sign POSSIUM CROSSING to warn coffee-gurgling neighbours :
We share the streets with more than trucks and vans and
Railroad crossings (3)

All birds being the living kin of dinosaurs
Think themselves invincible and pay no heed
To the rolling wheels while they dine
On an unlucky rabbit (4)

I hit brakes to the flutter of the lights hoping it’s not deer
Or a skunk or a groundhog
Coffee splashes over the cup which I quickly put away from me
And into the empty passenger seat
I look…..
Relieved and exasperated
To discover I have just missed a big wet leaf
Struggling….to lift itself into the wind
And live (5)
-Nikki Giovanni
