1. Read the following passage and answer the following questions- (12)

The giraffe is the tallest of all living land animals. A male can go up to 18 feet and a female up to 15

feet. Such height enables them to escape the competition for ground level grass that exists among

other leaf-eaters. It also gives him a long range of vision. He takes the warning of the approaching

enemy early.Giraffes eat a variety of leaves, but acacia leaves are their favourite diet. In spring

when many trees are not in leaf, they spend 80 per cent of the day eating. In summer, when trees

are in full leaf, they need only 15 per cent. The rest of the time is spent in resting and quarrelling.A

giraffe’s long neck is made up like that of man and most other mammals, of only seven vertebrae.

The bones are attached to one another with ball and socket joints. These make the neck flexible. It

can run at 50 km per hour.Rising from a lying position is a problem for such a large animal. So it

usually keeps standing even while it sleeps.To reach water with such a long neck and legs, a giraffe

spreads its front legs wide apart. Then it lowers its neck to drink. This awkward position makes it

easy for the lion to attack it.
