Question

human baby also finds it a challenge to take its first steps: 2. "The sight of the food maddened him." What does this suggest? What compelled the young seagull to finally fly? 3. "They were beckoning to him​

Answer 1

Answer:

The young seagull was very hungry. It was his hunger that ultimately compelled and encouraged him to fly. When the seagull saw his mother tearing at a piece of fish that lay at her feet, his hunger got intensified. He cried and begged his mother to give him some food. When he saw her coming towards him with food in her beak he screamed with joy. However, she stopped midway. Not being able to resist his hunger anymore he dived at the food in her beak. At that time his hunger overpowered his fear of the great expanse of sea beneath the cliff. Eventually, this plunge was followed by the natural reaction of his body, i.e. to fly.
