Question

Q1. Read the following passage carefully:- 6

An owl is a bird. There are two basic types of owls: typical owls and barn owls. Owls

live in almost every country of the world. Owls are mostly nocturnal, meaning they

are awake at night. Owls are predators—they hunt the food that they eat. Owls hunt

for mice and other small mammals, insects and even fish. Owls are well adapted for

hunting. Their soft, fluffy feathers make their flight nearly silent. They have very good

hearing which helps them to hunt well in the darkness. The sharp hooked beaks and

claws of the owl make it very easy to tear apart their prey quickly, although owls also

eat some prey whole.

Owl’s eyes are unusual. Like most predators, both the eyes of the owl face front. The

owl cannot move its eyes. Owls are far—sighted, which means they can see very well

far away, but they can’t see close very well at all. Fortunately, their distant vision is

what they use for hunting and they can see far away even in low light. Owls have

facial disks around their eyes, tufts of feathers in a circle around each eye. These facial

disks are thought to help the owl’s hearing. Owls can turn their heads 180 degrees.

This makes it look like they might be able to turn their heads all the way around, but

180 degrees is all the owl needs to see what’s going on all around it. Perhaps because

of the owl’s mysterious appearance, especially its round eyes and flexible neck, there

are a lot of myths and superstitions about owls. Many cultures believe that owls are

unusually wise. Because owls are nocturnal, some cultures associate owls with bad

omens. The screech of the barn owl is considered by many to sound eerily human, like

a person screaming. However, owls probably do not interact with the fates of humans

at all. In fact, some owl species may become extinct because of humans.
